Historical limericks? Why not!



Some poetical reflections on the opening of the Robert Hooke commemorative toilet at Monument Plaza:

There once was a pillar on Fish Street
That had an interesting history
It was built near the site
Where the City became a-light
But its makers have long been a mystery.



Many honored Sir Christopher Wren
Who was a great man way back when.
But what of Master Hooke
and his back with a crook?
"The Monument's his," says Old Ken.



Thus, a pavillion is what we all need
To mark this memorable deed.
Built of lobster traps
And some plate-glass wraps,
You can think of Hooke while you pee!
