Back to Timbuktu

Searching to get a room with a view
Overlooking lush gardens of Kew
With no green to be seen 
And a landlord so mean
I quickly went back to Timbuktu

Thanks Andrea. When my daughter (as a child) misbehaved my wife used to say to her that she would be sent to Timbuktu; goodness knows why!

Hi Gershon, thanks for visiting, I am a UK Londoner and I mean the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew, I hope you're still with me at least part of the way. I like your company.
