PHYSICAL PLANNING

My love is for you my profession,

My eyes are raised straight to you,

I will run towards you, when you call me.

I will paint your name on the city buildings,

You are so unique, you are so elegant,

I will live by your principles.

Urban Planning is your name, 

Glittering with proper development 

I hail you, you are so unique,

I will bring you to my town,

I will order every developer to follow your ethics.

Like the earth goddess, I am your carrier,

Worry no more; I will lift you with love,

I prefer calling you hubby; I do not sleep minus thinking about you. 

Every day I do something new for you,

I bring you gifts, I gossip about you, 

You so amazing, I will tell my descendants about you.

Like Ebenezer Howard, you are my Garden city,

A city flourishing with proper street designs and greenery,

A city with wider and complete boulevards, 

A city with resilient characters; worry no more my love. 

I will take you to the golf course; hoo I will take you the city square,

A city greenery park with amazing streetscapes, lighting and romantic moments,

Together with your sibling urban design and place-making,

I cried last time when you let me down in Luwero,

I felt like the world had ended, but the priest gave me hope,

Our church deliverance is worth remembering and I proclaim, 

I will never let you down-you are indeed my worth. 

You are my place rather than space, love me I beg,

I will bring you gifts, I will gossip about you,

You are so amazing. 

When we made our agreement in Makerere University,

You promised to be there for me;

Your mother, Physical Planning likes me, love me I beg.

Like Jane Jacobs, our love shall never die like American streets,

It has existed from classical times in Mesopotamia, 

Give me chance to hold you; you are worth loving,

You are so amazing, my love. 

I will cherish you, I will caress you,

It hurts me when I see you with other boys.

It hurt me when I saw you last time with my rival,

Don’t say you are so old for me, age is just numbers,

Give me chance to sleep in your chest. In our house privately,

I will protect you like Italian historical Artifacts.

Design you like Paris in France, I will bring you romance.

Urban Planning, you are so amazing. 

Am your only carrier, am your earth goddess
