Once Seen Never Forgotten

A little old Lady, shopping trolley with Junk
Mod on a scooter a parrot haired Punk
A Huge crowd of Cameras all going Click
A man taking chains off finishing his trick
Hooray Henry's coming out of a bar
Handlebar moustache driving an old fashioned car
a Wheel going round a bit out of place
next to a river flowing with grace
Man in a doorway begging for food
give him some money don't want to be rude
A walk in a Park birds chirping all round
A trip on a Train Underground
Something to eat sitting outside
A Famous Cathedral  a Beautiful Bride
A street full of papers a veritable Fleet
Thread a Needle and find where all Bankers meet
A tower with Ravens that never leave home
A collection of Bridges a once popular Dome
Shopping more Shopping as you head West
Man in a dinner suit and one in a vest
A Fairytale Palace A Queen and a Prince
Surely you need no more to convince
Never on Earth has there been such a place
Full of Sorrow and Laughter a Sad Happy Face
A Colourful Cosmopolitan mixture it's True
Oh London London We Love You.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
