In response to a challenge to write a poem containing
the words: rancher, destination, and ambiance
Never again will we take a chance
on so-called suburban ambiance.
Detached ranch or bungalow,
It matters not—let’s just say no!
Town beats country by a country mile,
And warehouse lofts are more our style,
With exposed brick walls, circular stairs,
And modern fittings with historic flair.
We long for culture every night and day—
Museums, jazz, sidewalk cafés.
And when nature extends her sweet temptations,
B&Bs make lovely destinations.
So, let’s ditch this drivable suburban sprawl
For a walkable city, where traffic crawls.
