...tempo of Manhattan's streets and the variety of its restaurants, the ingenious design of U.S. highways (better than Germany's), the superb discipline of orchestras accompanying his dancers, the "children's land of enchantment" in California's Disneyland. Moiseyev was not without a few gay barbs. He tweaked gaudy American advertisements for stiffening sales resistance; the incessant screaming of fire and police sirens in New York were annoying, and many U.S. movies simply a bore.

The former, set in staccato three-line stanzas and concluding with a jolly exhortation, "So cram your baby full of candy:/What quicker way to make a dandy?," has a gay and terse rhythm.
