Lonely Gamut
What do the guidebooks think of me ?
I wonder how much I impress ?
Do Baedeker and Pevsner both agree
To must-see my address ?
I guess my suburb may be boring
As my background as my job –
But like to hope I’m worth exploring,
As a breather from the mob.
Of course, I think I have a little charm
For those who come to look –
So take a detour – where’s the harm ?
Must ev’rything be by-the-book ?
But maybe I’m an av’rage gaff,
And not a place you’ll reminisce –
At a solid two-stars-and-a-half,
But something safe to miss.
