WRITING OBSTACLE

Describe a city that is built entirely on water.

Consider how the city's location on water would affect the architecture, the transportation, and the daily life of the people living there. You could base this on a real place or create a new world!

City of Water

City of water, city of glass,

This dumb city can kiss my ass,

This city was once so grand,

But things did not go as planned,

Built upon pillars of coral pink,

This city is now doomed to sink,

Buildings of glass used to shine,

But now they are coloured wine,

Fountains used to flow and flow,

But now they just glow and glow,

People used to go boating,

Hey wait! Is that fish floating?

Pools of water, so crystal clear,

Now the pools look like beer,

Boys in trunks, girls in bikinis,

Now no one makes any decent martinis,

People used to come and see,

But all they do now, is stop and pee,

This city was a wonder, yes it was,

But now it’s home to all kinds of fuzz,

Yes I hate this town, it’s a dump,

But now all it does is make me a grump,

So now I look, from miles away

I am going to make it pay,

I make a smile and push my hand,

And watch that city get blown to sand!
