Get lost?

Don't forget this ditty from the Dec 3, 1926 New York Times:

Verse Affords Means to Get About Queens
--
E. P. Butler's Rhyming System Guides All Folks When Street Plans Twist 'Em.


I want to get this framed in needlepoint. I don't why; I just do.
In Queens, to find locations best
Avenues, roads and drives run west;
But ways to north or south ’tis plain
Are street or place or even lane.
While even numbers you meet
Upon the west and south of street.
