On the balcony
Relaxing
Admiring the sights
From the heights.
High tide Eiver
Calm but controlling.
To my left Big Ben bonging
Behind a section of the London Eye
Across the water is
Charing Cross Station
Gateway to Trafalgar Square
Heartbeat of our nation.
As if you need a reason
To love London Town.
Nights getting lighter
And the sun is brighter
Bringing joy to my heart
Summer snapping due to start.
You don't need money
To be content
Just as well
My pennies are spent.
Far too many bills
And debts to pay
The South Bank is great
To escape for a day.
From the very spot
Where I currently stand
Is the most magnifecent new treasure
In our entire land
That building opposite holds
The very Savoy Hotel bed
Where they found
Maggie Thatcher DEAD!
Dulwich Poet 14th April 2013
(Standing on the fifth floor balcony of the Royal Festival Hall, overlooking the River Thames & admiring both the view, as well as appreciating it such a nice place, even if you have no spare money)
(And this poem is actually incorrect, she died at The Ritz, which is not on the river)
