City Tunes

Christmas 2008, a season to remember,
A wondrous trip, did it behold…
A bustling city, 4 hours yonder,
In these very lines,
Will its joyous tale be told!

Friendly and so welcoming,
Opened its arms to encompass us…
With sights and history galore,
Move into its bosom did we,
Without any fuss!

The Mauer, spellbinding,
A treasure house of real lives…
The museum in its vicinity,
To the depths of our humanity,
It easily dives!

The Reichstag, the Dom, the Tor
All statuesque and impressive…

The KaDeWe, the panoramic bahn,
So reeking of affluent modernity,
In its very excessive!

The AquaDom, surely a delight,
Tranquil blues and greens…
A match only to the near Sea Life,
Bringing up the rear, Tussauds, no less,
Where everyone stops and preens!
Berlin, it sure is, all the way through,
Captivated my heart, mind and soul…

Comparisons does it unwittingly warrant,
Oh Berlin, you sure were a pleasant whiff,

Of fresh air; of all the nicety that a city can dole!
