London Bridge Is Burning:

The kettle is bubbling,
Youths are whistling, 
Police on the run.

Nation angry,
Children hungry,
Bellies empty.

Riots rising,
Mothers bawling,
Cities burning.

Communication breaking,
Recession increasing,
Unemployment growing.

Politicians assembling,
Britain crumbling, 
People worrying,
Population dividing.
