Saturday In The Park (Central Park)

Today I spent some time in Central Park with a dear friend (CF) . She and I took a walk in The Rambles. On our way back we encountered a squirrel with a limp. But his/her injury did not deter the sweet creature from frolicking about or  playing peek-a-boo with us; as evident by the photographs atop this entry. Even though this critter seemed to be in a New York State of mind, the scene had a real Chicago feel about it; after all it was a Saturday in the park!

"Saturday in the park, I think it was the Fourth of July

Saturday in the park, I think it was the Fourth of July

People dancing, people laughing, a man selling ice cream (sellin' ice cream)

Can you dig it (yes, I can) And I've been waiting such a long time

For Saturday

"Saturday in the park

You'd think it was the Fourth of July

Saturday in the park

You'd think it was the Fourth of July

"People talking, really smiling

A man playing guitar

Singing for us all

Will you help him change the world

Can you dig it (yes, I can)

And I've been waiting such a long time

For today

"Slow motion riders fly the colors of the day

A bronze man still can tell stories his own way

Listen children all is not lost, all is not lost, oh no, no,

Funny days in the park, every day's the Fourth of July

Funny days in the park, every day's the Fourth of July

"People reaching, people touching, A real celebration

Waiting for us all, If we want it, really want it

Can you dig it (yes, I can), And I've been waiting such a long time for the day!"
