We've done house or apartment a while ago, now let's see which way this wind will blow. Which is your foe? Which one sinks more low?
City or town?
Does one make you frown?
Should country be used?
Country and town for this are infused.
Country has a town.
Many could take the crown.
If you count country as a whole.
Not as green grass where you stroll.
Which is for you?
Much coming due?
Lots to be done.
Around to stores you can run.
Traffic galore.
Suck on gas at your shore.
Not to mention the smog,
As you go out to walk your dog.
But can get what you want.
Nothing will haunt.
Can usually find it with ease,
Whenever you please.
Although more crime,
May not be sublime.
Could get shot.
That may hurt a lot.
Where as the town,
No traffic will make you frown.
Can get to where you need to go,
10 times faster you know.
Maybe 5 times.
But there are no mimes.
Quiet as well.
For some that could be hell.
But then less work,
That isn't a perk.
Then again more people in the city,
So can't even get a job out of pity.
Which is for you?
Fast, smoggy and things that are new?
Or slow, clean air and same old thing?
Maybe in the middle you have a fling.
Got a preference at your sea? Both have their perks for me. Sometimes depends where you are in life too. Tried out both at your zoo? Can be quite the difference indeed. Towns are cheaper, usually, to live in at ones feed. But then many are dying out in mass. You were made to think today by my little rhyming ass.
Enjoy your winter, smash a printer.

ReplyDeleteIt is now 4 in a row
DeleteOn with an even flow!
Hank
Keep on a going
DeleteWith the showing
City Or Town Which Makes You Frown!
ReplyDeleteCities are stressful problems abound
Towns are relaxed
Efforts less taxed
Little perks enjoyed are more profound
Hank
Less is more
DeleteOr more is less
What's in store
Could be a mess
I've lived in both and while towns are more relaxing and safer, cities have more to offer.
ReplyDeleteBut then you pay for it too
DeletePlus traffic up the wazoo haha
I live in the town of quietness
ReplyDeleteWaking to the sound of sleepyness
Outside the city of busyness
Traveling the bridge of dizziness
working in a place of craziness
I sing a tune of blueness
seeking a sky of cloudlessness
Raising to a higher consciousness
in a world full of colorfulness
I like to drift in dreaminess
Ness got you going
DeleteWith today's showing
As the 9-5 you are towing
As the city starts growing
Until you escape to where there's mowing
And stars are a glowing
Finally repeating the knowing
With another 9-5 showing
Forgot one the cat is full of cleverness
DeleteClever sure works
DeleteHas its perks
I like the city over a small town
ReplyDeletemore opportunities for things to do
don't have to drive in rush hour traffic
so that makes it fun at my loo
betty
That sure is a perk
DeleteNo need to drive to work
I've walked the streets of city and town
ReplyDeleteLived in each without a frown
The bustle of city was hard to ignore
A need for excitement in youth did restore
Mayberry's my choice, now I am old
Quiet and friendly, don't break the mold
Mayberry with a whistle
DeleteMaybe some healing thistle
With the city a drive away
Can go any old day
We live in a town next to a city, which is fine for this kitty!
ReplyDeleteWorks out indeed
DeleteThere at your feed
Great
ReplyDeleteYippeeeee
DeleteFor meeeeee
I grew up in the country
ReplyDeleteIt felt lovely and free.
The city offers more for sure
But too busy for me and not a cure
For feeling happy for me.
I'll take a townany day, you see.
Actually the country is where I'd like to be.
The country has lots of space
DeleteSure can be easy to embrace
I live in a city suburb, and could enjoy a city too.
ReplyDeleteI want choices for restaurants, movie theaters, shopping, etc. I work in the country and hate the crappy roads out here and the bad drivers with stuff flying out of their truck beds. Ugh. Give me some smog please and an art museum!!
lol smog beats crap flying at you
DeleteAnd smashing your windshield ruining your view
I've mostly lived in suburbs. The cities I've lived in had poor public transportation, so there were really no benefits to it. I'd love to live somewhere that a car wouldn't be necessary.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few places like that
DeleteBut most cost a mighty fine stat
I prefer the size where I'm at. Not huge but certainly not a small town. My sister in law is from a town called Iva in SC and it apparently only has a subway and a gas station
ReplyDeletehaha that is rather small
DeleteDoesn't sound like much to do at all
I like where I live, it might be a big city but a lot of stores are open 24/7 which makes grocery shopping easier to do when it's 117F outside during the day.
ReplyDeleteAnd lets one gamble away
DeleteWhen they go there to stay
Hm. I'd have to say I prefer country to town.
ReplyDeleteHidden away
DeleteAt your Grammar Nazi bay
Duh, I meant to say I'd prefer country/town living to city dwelling. :)
DeleteI got what you were saying
DeleteDidn't think a mountain cabin fox you'd be portraying lol
orlin N cassie......letz see.......still thinkin ~~~~~
ReplyDeletetrout TOWNE for sure...tho we wood like ta livez in de countree N knot de citee ☺☺☺♥♥♥
Cities can have lots of noise
DeleteBut towns have birds for joys
Which is for you
ReplyDeleteMuch coming due
My little zoo
Room with a view
Room that is needed
DeleteA view can be seeded
Somewhere in between, close to the city hub and a little bit of quiet ~ Really hate the noise of traffic and cars ~ Have a good week Pat ~
ReplyDeleteYeah, cars going every which way
DeleteCan sure ruin ones day
No big city for me
ReplyDeleteNosiree!
Bad enough to work in the metro sea
Couldn't pay me live there, definitely
Not even for a million bucks?
DeleteCould go feed the ducks lol
I'm more of a small city/town girl. I don't want anything too big, but I like the amenities:)
ReplyDeleteThe amenities can sure be nice
DeleteBut they always come with a price
I also like small towns. My husband would love to move to a big city like Chicago, but all the traffic and crowds just stress me out.
ReplyDeleteYeah, rush hour would give me road rage
DeleteSo in a smaller place I'll wage
Both city and country appeal to me. I need nature, but I also enjoy the cultural and scientific opportunities that come with city living. I really want to be near a great airport and (unfortunately) need to be near a busy hospital.
ReplyDeleteI'm very curious to see how my siblings will adapt to retirements spent largely in Smith's Cove, Nova Scotia after living in Calgary and other large cities. Much as I love the Cove, I think I'd go out of my mind if I had to live there year round.
I would enjoy a nice condo in downtown Denver, but Terry hates the snow. I'm even more curious about where we will eventually land. It's an ongoing negotiation ~ LOL!
Yeah, I can imagine retiring there would be quiet
DeleteWouldn't want you to start a riot
But then you travel everywhere anyway
So all year there you wouldn't stay lol
I agree with the snow
That crap has to go haha
Having lived in both, I've found that I'm not actually sure what I like better. There are certain appeals to both. I grew up in the DEEP woods of North Carolina but now I live in one of the greatest metropolitan cities in the US...Soooo...
ReplyDeleteThere are always perks to each one
DeleteDepends on which we want to give a run
I thought I liked the big city, then i moved to the country and loved it too. Now I'm in a small city and I think that trumps 'em all. :)
ReplyDeleteHey diddle diddle
DeleteLive in the middle
I#ve lived in both Pat, as long as I'm reasonably healthy and happy I don't care where I live.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
A good way to be
DeleteThere at ones sea
I live in the city
ReplyDeleteSo it's not a pity.
Plenty of diversity,
But also perversity.
So for maybe a town I'm better suited.
Not much to do, but peace is included.
Just to sit on a porch rocking away.
Blogging at times and sleep half the day.
Watch some TV--I've got satellite--
Reading a book at times is alright.
Either way I guess I'm just fine
As long as I'm here in a home that is mine.
Arlee Bird
Tossing It Out
Perversity is everywhere
DeleteOne just needs to be aware
But yeah, as long as one is in a home their own
And not like E.T. who needs a phone
All will be fine
As life does align
The city
ReplyDeleteIs shitty
I live in a town
Where I'm the clown
Been the village idiot
And slept in a pit.
At least you were known
DeleteHopefully you slept alone
No rats
Or dingbats
