Riga, where the river flows,

Riga, where the river flows, in Daugava's gentle course,

Old Town Antics:

Old Town in Riga's heart,
I took a stroll, played a part.
But then I tripped on ancient stone,
And tumbled down, oh my bones!

From old town's charm to city's cheer,
Riga's laughter's always near.

Art Nouveau District, views so grand,
I took a tour, hat in hand.
But then I tripped on narrow stair,
And nearly tumbled through the air!
The tourists laughed and helped me rise,
In Riga, joy's no surprise.
From art's bright charm to city's cheer,
Art Nouveau District's laughter's always near.

Riga Cathedral Capers:

Riga Cathedral, grand and bright,
I took a tour, what a sight.
But then I tripped on marble floor,
And tumbled down with quite a roar.
The tourists laughed and helped me rise,
In Riga, joy's no surprise.
From sacred halls to city's light,
Riga Cathedral's laughter's pure delight.
