He makes street music
His mouth applied tight
To a plastic traffic cone

He makes street music
His mouth applied tight
To a plastic traffic cone

The beer refresh-es,
The food is mediochre:
A quaint pub in Hampstead

Keeping cars off pavements,
Lined up like soldi-ers:
Praise London’s bollards

Oh what a pleasure it is
To open a new book
And enjoy it

Stuck to the chair,
Hands and fingers sweaty:
A sultry London heatwave

Once for grinding grain
Water rush-es fast
Beneath a disus’d mill wheel
The water wheel at the Watermill Theatre near Newbury in West Berkshire, UK

Thatch’d roofs and gentle rain
Puddles under foot
A typical English summer

Why does fish and chips
Taste much better by the sea?
Something in the air?

Being busy as a bee
Is very tiring
But less rewarding

Lying high and dry
The tide is far out
Fishing boats rest on the strand
