we're asking security guards if they've seen Snoopy

12 Snoopy scultures scattered around the city centre
to find in the sun

someone on facebook has spilled the beans 
and revealed the location of 3 of them -
she has received an absolute backlash 

some bloke wants to take part and drive up from kent

but we can't find the one and ask the young, bearded man in the hi-vis
he sends us over to the young, cologned-up man in the blue suit
he sends us down the escalator to the Paddington Bear bench

and we get there and leave a copy of Robert Burton's
The Anatomy of Melancholy next to Paddington,
eating his marmalade sandwich. 

i whisper in his ear, 'good luck to you.' 
the security guard and the blue-suited man begin to approach

we leave immediately.
