Went to London for the first time last weekend,
you know
that big city on that big river
supposedly the capital
Whatever that means
Dad had to go there for work
said it would be good to
“see the sights”
and boy, did we see the sights
Now,
don’t get me wrong
I had a great time
London was pretty spectacular and all that
But can we talk about what they call their buildings?
Man, them Londoners are bonkers
or hungry
or both
The Gherkin
The Cheesegrater
The Pringle
But wait for it
The Walkie-Talkie
The Walkie-Talkie?
Whatever that is
Went to London for the first time last weekend,
you know
that big city on that big river
that named a skyscraper after a pickled cucumber
