London Trip

Travellling to London on a somewhat crowded train
Mem'ries of commuting raise their head again. 
I can just be thankful that it isn't every day 
But to earn a living there may be no other way!
This is just a day trip and it should be fun
Perhaps it would be better if there was a bit of sun?
Going to see where government has its seat of power 
Where the politicians get their chance to star!
Do we get the politicians that we really need?
Upright, true and honest? Not inspired by greed?
If we can't be bothered to vote for honest men
We'll get the crooks and charlatans every now and then! 
Going to the loo at Euston costs you 30p
But Green Park tube is worse than that 50p, not free!
Walking round in London looking at the view
It is really something that you have to do.
The mother of all parliaments is a sight to see
The place where our democracy is meant to keep us free.
Statues of the great and good standing in a line
Ghandi and Mandela show that freedom's doing fine.
Now we're at the station with lots of cancellation
And when we get to home at last there'll be some jubilation !
