YouVille<\/strong><\/p>\n

Imagine your life
\nis a small town,
\nlet\u2019s call it YouVille.<\/p>\n

You awaken one morning,
\nwhere you\u2019ve been living,
\non the outskirts,
\nin a bit of a ramshackle,
\nto be honest about it.<\/p>\n

It dawns on you,
\nalong with the sun,
\nthat you\u2019re the Mayor,
\nbut you haven\u2019t
\ngone to City Hall
\nin years.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re probably
\nthe one-person
\nCity Council, too.
\nWho\u2019s been doing that
\nin your absence?<\/p>\n

What happened?
\nYou love this town,
\nyou grew up here.
\nIt\u2019s beautiful!
\nLook at those views!
\nHow long have you
\nbeen sleeping?
\nWho cares?!
\nYou\u2019re awake now.<\/p>\n

Have some breakfast,
\nthen go do what
\nyou came here to do.<\/p>\n
