Analysis of Rus. Vs. Urbs
Franklin P. Adams 1881 (Chicago, Illinois) – 1960 (New York City, New York)
Whenever the penner of this pome
Regards a lovely country home,
He sighs, in words not insincere,
"I think I'd like to live out here."
And when the builder of this ditty
Returns to this pulsating city,
The perpetrator of this pome
Yearns for a lovely country home.
