Urbs Or Burbs Poem by Saint Eule

What attracts some to the urban life;
Walk to a library, or shopping with the wife.
Bakeries and smells, peddlers on the way;
or have a glass of wine at a sidewalk cafe.

Signs of perfumed women on a bulletin board;
Banks of commerce and fast food to feed the hoard.
Fast walkers, old men feeding pigeons by the park;
Movie theaters, bars, news stands all leave a mark.

Fashion in heels and shiny wheels-sushi.

What attracts some to the suburban life;
Barbecues, soccer or gardening with the wife.
Smells of honeysuckles or roses fill the air;
A glass of beer on the porch a romantic affair.

Trees and green lawns which need to be mowed;
Fruits, vegetables and ice cream stands along the road.
Slow walkers, hummingbird feeders and yard sales;
Small grocery and hardware stores mark the trails.

Fashion in old blue jeans, jeeps and muddy trucks -baked beans.
