1412 - South East by North West

It’s so long since I’ve driven to London
The old familiar route down the M6
M40, A40, A409
That harrowing drive through Harrow - got it licked
Now, just about. Grant Road, that’s where I picked
Up Louis with all his stuff from that dump
Where he’s been living this year. He’ll select
A better place next year, he says. We un-
Packed his bags, put them in my flat, and jumped
Back in the car to go get Pearl. Had fun
Us three all together here, watching flicks
Or talking about them. We saw oil pumped
In ‘There Will Be Blood.’ It flowed on and on
Until the blood and oil were nicely mixed
