Where You Live

If you live in a small town, I’m guessing

That you know everyone that you meet,

Plus their families as well

As the stories they’d tell;

From such knowledge you cannot retreat.

 

In the city, the opposite happens.

Most strangers you never will know.

Those you see for a while

May engender a smile

But there’s rarely much more than hello.

 

As an urbanite, I can defend this.

To call us unfriendly’s not fair.

We keep to ourselves

And if somebody delves

‘Neath the surface, we’d rather not share.
