Poem
Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall In Chicago we have it all Chicago Skyline with skyscrapers abound Landmarks and tourist wondering around Lake and beaches enjoyed by the crowd Festivals fill the streets with sound Driving down the blue highway Views from the skyway People crowd to the festivals To eat all the edibles As they walk arm and arm Enjoying the cities charm When you look up in the sky Where all the planes fly Looking like little starts When seen from our cars The streets are full of trees Waving in the breeze Flowers are all in bloom Which helps to remove the gloom We all love the Cubs Some call them the Scrubs On the southside blocks They are about the Sox We are all dedicated fans No matter where our teams’ land Even if it ends in tears As our team has not won in years Off goes another bang It is another gang Shooting their guns Protecting their drugs Another child shot dead With a bullet in his head Leaving everyone near Hiding in fear The politicians are crooks Forging all their books Living in their prison cell After all the lies they tell Chicago is known for a high tax Putting the debt on our backs Schools are on strike Here comes another tax hike Immigrants are welcome with open arms Keeping them from harm While veterans sleep in the park With nowhere to go in the dark Where homeless are the norm Hiding under bridges in the storm Rats and roaches crawl around The smells of the city will astound The city is always flowing With the coming and going We love to call it home No matter where we roam
