Once a rainy day pushed some guests
Stay under my roof in the countryside. . .
Those guys loved to eat potatoes;
They loved it so much that my wife
Said to me, rubbing her hands,
'See, our potatoes are to their taste;
Let's boil them some more, my man!
Let them eat it all. Let's buy a new home!'
Such a silly woman she was,
Changing the old fertilized farm ground
For a not much in lived house
In the megacity's noisy suburb.
You remind me of why I don't live in the city. I did for a short while. 'So noisey...cars, sirens, all sorts of noses and absurd night time horribleness. Stay in the burbs or woodlands as long as we still have them! 'Enjoyed. You struck a nerve, Alexander!
I feel your pain. My suburbs have trains, planes, and automobiles. Like the movie but in a horror version. I don't if Long Island is even considered a suburb anymore.

I'm with John. Trading the country place for one in the suburbs is generally a big mistake.
