What are you able to build with your blocks? <br />Castles and palaces, temples and docks. <br />Rain may keep raining, and others go roam, <br />But I can be happy and building at home. <br /> <br />Let the sofa be mountains, the carpet be sea, <br />There I'll establish a city for me: <br />A kirk and a mill and a palace beside, <br />And a harbor as well where my vessels may ride. <br /> <br />Great is the palace with pillar and wall, <br />A sort of a tower on top of it all, <br />And steps coming down in an orderly way <br />To where my toy vessels lie safe in the bay. <br /> <br />This one is sailing and that one is moored: <br />Hark to the song of the sailors on board! <br />And see on the steps of my palace, the kings <br />Coming and going with presents and things!<br /><br />Robert Louis Stevenson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/block-city/
