By John Laan
Tell me about the town The streets and the cars The wharves and the buildings And why are they there Tell me about the town people How they dress The way they speak, their behaviour And why they never return Tell me about the tourists Where they come from Who they are And why they carry cameras Tell me about the shops Who the shopkeepers are The goods they sell And why they are so expensive Tell me about the cinemas Who shows the pictures How much you pay And why are some not suitable for children Finally tell me If you will marry me And take me to town with you.
