Just a few of my feelings expressed as a short sonnet.

At the moment I am feeling that I should not be sharing my work, but that will change.

The song is the inspirational "City Of Dreams" by The Talking Heads.

You Built Their City

You Built It So Well

You Made Them Happy

They Had Tales To Tell

๐Ÿก๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿก

The Walls Were Built High

The Roads Were So Straight

The Rooves Kept Them Dry

And They Did Not Wait

๐Ÿก๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿก

This City Was For Them

It Was Always Theirs

For Them And Their Friends

They Would Never Share

๐Ÿก๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿก

Their Thanks Without Doubt

Was To Lock You Out
