Acropolis
The Ancient Greeks of long ago
Used different words to what we know
Take acropolis for example
For if you lived on top of this
Thing called an acropolis
You lived inside a city on a hill.
The word originated from
Two words, first the word Akron
Meaning for height or great extremity
And the other ancient word,
Polis, if you haven’t heard,
Is a word that in Greek means a city.
