Metropolis and Megalopolis

My cousin, Metropolis is jealous of me,
Megalopolis said, at the company tea.

I have more people,
But she has more sprawl.
I think we’ll fix this today.
I have put in a call.

They settled it fast.
They settled it quickly.
Metropolis and Megapolis,
Cousins, comrades, friends, 
Settled it smartly and slickly.

And Megalopolis learned there is a lot more hurt
When you bring up in public your family’s dirt.
