Thread Name: BS: Bad poetry about London...
Subject: RE: BS: Bad poetry about London...
I `ad that Andrew Motion in my cab the other day. I said, "Where d`you want to go to mate? Up The mall or Bishopsgate?" " There I`m a poet and don`t know it!"
`e said, " Take me through this wondrous place
Let me see its charms unfold
Its bustling city business streets
Its West End stores and towers of gold
The parks that bless the Thames, each side
The bridges steeped in history
Just drive me round, and round ,and round
For here is all the world to see"
I said, "nice one guv, but it`ll cost you £130 quid"
`e said, " Nah, cobblers, just drop me at Victoria!!"
What am I like?
