Today’s word is “oppidan” ... of a town; urban. (Dictionary.com)
Primal
The country’s not for everyone,
With fresh clean air and trees,
Some people are oppidan,
And you can’t please these.
They prefer their coffee shops,
To be right down the street,
And taxis to be close at hand,
To ride ... not use their feet.
The weight of earth and feel of rain,
Are not what give them pleasure,
But for those who live outside,
All these are a treasure.
