London Poem

Capital of the World

I was welcomed by the London Eye.Big Ben stands beyond the fog.We never noticed the grass was wet.

Namco Arcade warps us to BlackpoolAnd Las Vegas with flashing lights,Colourful mascots and underground bowling.

Those who tried to dodge the crowds Of the women's march did so in vain:Failed miserably as the protests wereIn every alley and street of London.

"Free Melania Trump," said the black sign. "My body: My choice," roared London Bridge. "Dump Trump," cried Charing Cross. "No more bigotry," the lampposts beg.

China town is painted red and gold. London is beautiful tonight.
