The city, now in morning light,
Rouses from its sleepless night -
     And yawning buildings and shop doors
     Welcome shoppers in their scores.

​

Commuters, ready for their day,
Arrive with nerves prepared to fray,
     Whilst trains and buses, taxis, cars,
     Bring visitors from near or far.

​

Shopkeepers welcome one and all -
The thin the fat, the short and tall -
     And smiles from those prepared to sell
     Will cast a captivating spell.

 

The sound of nature’s drowned by din
As human noise is bound to win -
     And hour by hour, the tills ring out
     That all is well, there is no doubt!
