A Monstrosity
I stand tall and am made of steel,
With baguettes and garlic at my heel.
The hunchback’s house could see my head,
I’m more well known than a certain bread.
I love the colors red, white and blue,
But maybe not as much as you.
I’m a marvel for all to see,
Though to some I am a monstrosity.
What am I?
The Eiffel Tower

And the belle of New York is the girl for me.
Manhattan. A MAN wears a HAT, and a MAN might acquire a TAN if he went to sea.

Each morning I appear
To lie at your feet,
All day I will follow
