Strategically placed when raised 
Upwards
By your masterful and well 
Practiced hand.
To mingle with ever changing 
Skylines 
That frown down with arrogant 
Scowls
Upon the indigenous populous of 
This just and tolerant island.
To study and pontificate upon...

the hunger begins,
the time when everyone,
it would seem, is giving in

in all Win-Win bilateral...

The tour of London begins
 In the streets of my mind,

Mama, mama ...

thank you very much
for letting me clutch
your attention courtesy
