Hello Chicago

You are resident of Illinois
I visited Chicago many times
now Covid bars me

I love the lake and the beach
How I wish we had met then
life is like a flowing river
some swim along
others across
few swim against the current
but I can't swim

they put me on a boat
and with a pump skin bellow
which would float
if i am about to sink

no I can't drown
I am like the rock of Gibraltar
as heavy
believe me

How I wish to come to Chicago
once more to see the bridge
on the canal part
as ships gradually dart
some excitation I missed
so they showed me the Beans

'Twas exquisite
as much incredible
you all know it
