Daily Mirror In London

DAILY    MIRROR    IN    LONDON

St. Brides church, delicate 
Wedding cake  built by Wren,  *
Reflected in Daily Express building, monstrous
Glass and steel box,
Built by no-one-cares-who.

But the box at least has the grace 
To show us two wedding cakes, 
And like a mirror it has no existence 
Other than the reflections
It offers  us every day.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

*  Sir Christopher Wren, designer of many fine 
    buildings in London, including St. Paul's Cathedral.
