The Flatland Funckies
Were spunkies
Playing stickball
During the fall
While in the heat
Stoopballing they’d meet
Or in Coney Island
They’d stand
Off the Culver Line
Seeking pizza fine
Under the Marine Park
Bridge’s mark
They’d dive
Even survive
Depths unknown
But to those grown
On Flatbush Avenue’s end
We will always defend
The Flatland Funckies
