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.
