London Poem by Paul Reed

It's got Tower Bridge
And it's got Big Ben
It's got underground trains
That run now and then

It's got river cruises
It's got Trafalgar Square
It's got Madame Tussauds
And red buses to spare

It's got Cockneys
And Germans and Japanese
And trained announcers
That say 'Mind the gap, please'

It's got Nelson's Column
And it's got Hyde Park
Full of grey squirrels
Who eat nuts in the dark

It's got the 'OXO' building
It's got museums galore
Like the Victoria and Albert
And the Imperial War

But my advice if you're going to London
And all the sights to see
Is take a good pair of shoes
And an umbrella or three!
