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?
