LONDON

South on the map 

Google maps app 

A city were royalty base

Big Ben the clock 

10 downing Street mob

Fast living then this is your place

The rarest of sounds  

They got underground 

They busk to the beat of the trains

Night foxes roam 

The streets are now home

Upon primrose hill daisy chains

Rappers and chanters 

Camden stall banters 

A plate full the hung...

Keeper of The Heads

The smell is a fine one;
The death of a traitor
is always sweet
 
I feel the pulse of the cheers
echo through the city
when the mighty fall
or the wretched scum meet their end
 
Then they send the heads to me
Parboiled
Dipped in tar
Beautifully macabre
 
And I get to work
Proudly plying my trade
For there's a colour to my craft
and a heritage I'm proud to continue
