Government of the people
Particularly of ROME
A mind of great philosophy
Where Romans call their home
A city of great variation
Artistic to the fore
Where laws are made
But are broken
By the Romans who are sure
The social housing manifests
The letters loud and clear
SPQR everywhere
Its what they like to hear
People rule the roost
In the city that never sleeps
Gargoyles on the sides of buildings
An expanse that sweeps
Amazing architecture
Upwards to the sky
All sorts of wondrous sculptures
And fountains we know why
The emperors and the cardinals
Built these pillars of stone
Rome has so much going for it
The city so full blown
