WE SEE LONDON DAY 4
After I woke up and went out to our little balcony to write…
a ladybug landed on my computer and decided there to stay
As she traversed the perimeter of my computer…
I knew it was going to be great day
We took the tube to Buckingham Palace…where more history was unlocked.
We strode the rooms and hallways where kings and queens have walked.
The palace was amazing…as once again we witnessed over 300 years of tradition…
In terms of wealth, affluence and prosperity it was a wonderful exhibition…
When we left the palace…thinking abut kings and queens and bureaucrats…
I found my self part of the tradition when Ava and Ali bought me a British bucket hat!
Next, we were off for Afternoon Tea at The Wolseley…3:00 we didn’t what to be late
Once there…from a three-tiered silver serving tray a host of treats we ate.
Scones and sweets and finger sandwiches…we couldn’t eat as much as we could see
while Bryan and Ali drank Afternoon, Deborah Caramel and Ava and I Chocolate tea.
After filing up on those finger sandwiches, cups of tea and scones
we visited the British Museum…where we see the Elgin Marbles and Rosetta Stone.
For future reference the Rosetta Stone is amazing…we were awestruck and beguiled…
but the Elgin Marbles were not the kind I played with as a child!
Our next stop was a little pub…we thought cooling off and resting would be wise
before heading to the London Coliseum where Bryan planned, for us, a surprise.
On our last night in London we watched The Great Gatsby…where we joined the crowd
Laughing, clapping and crying through a musical
that would have made F. Scott Fitzgerald proud…
Before I fell asleep…It was great day!…I wanted to open my window and shout it…
and I wished my lady but would return to me…so I could tell her all bout it.
