Standing next to the library a gallery of art

Nourishing the soul, culture they impart

Paintings, sound, all arts it embraces

Taking us to many far away places

Streets a mix of Victorian architectural hints

Mixing harmoniously with all the glitz and chintz

What should be a total clash somehow blends in its uniqueness

Becoming quite sublime to the senses in its completeness

The greatest giant of this Victorian dream

To copy dear Eiffel was part of the scheme

Far seeing sentinel overseas the town

Catch the show, see the creepy clown

Stayed there myself when I was quite small

Stood there and tried to take in it all

Said to my parents, whatever it takes

Can we leave this place and go to the lakes?
