CITY LOVE

Chuck Klein © 1995

 

My first glimpse of her,

through rising river steam

and teasing sculptured curves

was everyman's dream.

 

My eyes swept her ample mounds

THE
BEST OF CHUCK KLEIN

There are others, but she's the best.

 

From that first moment I was in love.

Her friendly warmth and inviting way

Has kept me coming back for more.

To fill an insatiable need to play.

 

The heart and soul of this beauty,

Like a theater in the round,

Is most sophisticated and vibrant

With an excitement so profound.

 

Statuesque and pillared, yet modern,

Fed by flowing ribbons of diversity

Ethnic, religious and political,

Like a free and good University.

 

Powerful leaders Taft, Harrison and Stewart

And Sabin, Crosley and Stowe of fame

Plus the old money of Kroger, Corbett and Gamble

Can only mean...Cincinnati is her name.
