London Thoughts

Big Ben bongs

B-Hive bobbing in London

London Zoo owl brushes my hair

Lioness stiffly waiting

Lion sleeps

But on stage he’s wide awake.

Audience gasping as he rises up by magic

The traffic’s roar rivals the lion’s

Without stopping for breath

But one step around the corner

To the quiet mooring
