Singapore - a garden city - negative

In the heart of Singapore
stood a grand merlion with pride
It's fiery eyes shone brightly
allowing it to see at night

Tourists from a far
heard of the glamorous thing
and thus they flocked to here
hoping to catch a glimpse of it
but alas!
What you hear isn't what you see

The merlion had several cracks
on its white stone body
its mouth had stop spouting water
as the pipe was not working

The once beautiful scene was disrupted
and in its place now stood
a battered and worn unless piece of stone
