Bronxville
Bronxville city of magnificent possibilities
Bronxville university of fabulous mentors
Bronxville of choruses of choirs
Bronxville from early morning until late at night
Bronxville where dreams are made and come true
Bronxville hive of intellectual bees
Bronxville workshop for literature and drama
Bronxville teeming with art and experiment
Bronxville with manifold unexplored hallways and doorways
Bronxville painters with buckets of paint
Bronxville love on all horizons
Bronxville auditioning players for the play
Bronxville there is always work to be done
Bronxville every sky is the limit
Bronxville imagination resourcefulness given full rein
Bronxville where you fly without wings
