Here on Grays Inn Road,
Is a lovely letter box.
And people pass by!

They are really old,
More than one hundred years old.
That’s why they don’t move.
As complex as simple is.

Roland Hill standing,
On top of a letter box.
St Paul’s behind him.

What did Roland do?
Penny post for all letters.
Letters after him.
New things to include,
Things that are key to London,
Things normally red.

Like letter boxes,
Telephone boxes also,
And some other stuff!
It is sad I know,
Here’s a London letter box!
South of Russell’s Square.

I may take some more,
The Duke of Bedford behind,
Or Francis to some.
