In Venice they have the ‘Ponte dei Sospiri’
A name that translates as the ‘bridge of sighs’
While the passing tourist think it was a matter of love
Byron the poet spoke of the Inquisition’s torments
But what is love as we cross the Millennium Bridge
The Tower of London’s horror story is just a few steps away
A passing beauty on a bridge will turn your head
Beware of the windy days, sharp and cold like a blade
Lest they’ll send your hat and head rolling into the river
