Someone could actually write a story about a poor country boy and rich city girl who, though they were separated a great geographical distance, managed to meet and somehow were able to break down the rigid socioeconomic economic wall between them – and they were able to fall in love. [Apparently poor Horace, was only able to see the Dark Side of this situation today … or didn’t want to put in the effort or imagination for it.]
By the third book of the trilogy, he became a rich, country boy and she was reduced to being a poor, city girl. They still never meet – for the same reason. :)
It was an unfortunate situation They were in virtual isolation For us it’s a source of frustration Like they say, location location location But if you want my recommendation It could have been fixed with some determination He needed a better, more gooder occupation One with, you know, more compensation He could get that with some higher education And then to remove their far separation We’d say what they needed was transportation That’s why we have aviation I’d also recommend some communication

Martin Mull had a song titled “They Never Met” that was kind of like this.

Gentrification is probably a part of this love story that never was.

Suggest you log out Horace and head for the roof for some fresh air… It’s more than 20 stories up, but you can take the elevator…!

If one of them had taken the midnight train going anywhere, they might have met.
