1288 - Busy bees of London

Where did you go today, where did you go?
I went to London, that’s where I have been
Did you see anybody that you know?
No, nobody famous, and not the Queen
Saw lots of long-legged girls, most in their teens
LSE students, many. Also passed
The green square and chambers of Lincoln’s Inn
Fields, but Abraham wasn’t in. We gassed
As we sought our building; found it at last
Down Chancery Lane. Not so long ago
Dr Johnson walked here, and Charles Dickens
There seems no time for slow, only for fast
In Starbucks, phones in use, squeezed in a row
Behind the window pane, stressed out sardines
