Best Harrods Poems
What's It About For You, ThenWhat’s it about for them, then
Loneliness, poverty, pain
Bang of the bailiff at the door
Death in a ditch in the rain
What is it like for the Joneses
Bigger and better you think
Posh port and pigs in blankets
Sick in the kitchen sink
What’s it about for him, then
A clock,...

Our Lords PlightThis poem covers the greatest story ever told
Greater than all the kings and all their gold
This story will bring about deep reflection
Starting with the Immaculate Conception
Of all the stories this is the greatest of all
A complex child born in a simple stall
Quickly the news covered...

A Visit To LondonWhen first I saw London, it was in a book in the library,
But then I came to England, experiencing its history.
The Bridges over the river Thames, like sentinels over the city stand...
While the long Buildings of Parliament, lay beneath Big Ben's command.
The Palace Guard at...

Her scent drifts past Trafalgar Square -
England’s summer has begun.
The rising sun above the Thames
shines brighter than a crown of gems;
peeks through the panes of Buckingham
until the day is done.
Saint James Park invites the dawn
as sunbeams...

London LamentI had to sit through it all
the conversation that was inevitable
What they did
Where they went
What they saw...
My brother and his wife
On the their expensive trip to see Roger Federer in the flesh
My husband and daughter
On a trip joining work with sightseeing
And then there was...

From his park bench bed
He hears bells chime in New Year.
Quiet desperation.
From her pavement tent
She peeps. Harrods is open!
January sales!...

Random Anagram ThoughtsDo you know a teacher you think may be a cheater
If you shop at ‘Harrods’ are you considered posh
If your car breaks down, do you call the RAC
When you play pool or polo do you go round in a loop
If you prick your hand on...

For I'M a Londoner NowFound my way round London like a boss
Know the best way to Piccadilly and Kings Cross
For I'm a Londoner now
Seen the sights Big Ben and the like
Taken a cycle journey on a Boris bike
For I'm a Londoner now
I've been on...

A Christmas StoryTeacher tried to teach his class that Christmas isn’t boring
Half the kids weren’t listening and one or two were snoring
He picked out little Lucy, she seemed the one most liable
He made her prove she’d listened to his lesson from the bible
Her little eyes were glistening,...

One Way Or An Udder
Purple-haired teens of large girth,
courageously saving the earth,
are staging big pours
in grocery stores;
they're milking for all that it’s worth!
