Urbane ... Squeak

Today's word is "urbane" ... ur-BEYN ... having the polish and suavity regarded as characteristic of sophisticated social life in major cities: an urbane manner. (dictionary.com)

Squeak
Mouses from the country,
And mouses from the city,
See things in a different light,
And it's just a pity.

The country mouse is happy,
With a bit of hay to sleep in,
But the mouse that's citified,
Is urbane without a reason.

Being the sophisticate,
He knows all the famous flavors,
But the country mouse is happy,
With the little bit he savors.
