You Go Where I Have Been!

A fun poetic travelogue!

By ankit priyadarshiPublished 5 years ago 2 min read

I was going to London, hoping to see the Queen!

Wasn’t allowed into the palace, disappointed, I had been!

Photo By Author

With a camera in my hand,

my entry into the palace banned,

Though I didn’t show it! Wished my face was buried in the sand!

But I gathered courage, and I left that unfortunate place,

in search of somewhere, I would be treated with grace!

Small was my search, as I found a place,

renowned were its dwellers and what a beautiful place!

Welcomed with open arms, and I was greeted with a smile,

I was in awe of Katrina’s exuberant style!

Moved around slowly,

I saw Angelina Jolie!

Asked her for a picture and said I was a fan,

she said, “Wait, while I come back from my vanity van!”

Gorgeous she looked!

On her, all eyes were hooked!

But she called me aside, and said,

to my request, she was happy to oblige!

Then she waved at Brad Pitt, he came by our side.

She clicked one photo, with Brad and me side by side!

What a day it was!

I was filled with joy!

Forgot everything else,

as a kid forgets a broken toy!

Happily, as I roamed, around this merry place,

I met with a lady who was filled with grace!

“There is a guest!”,

the word spread around!

Shahrukh became curious!

He tried to look,

But I could not be found!

Photo By Author

If only, he had turned around!!

Shahrukh why don’t you try, with all the passion,

what can I say,

perhaps the universe will send you my way!

Slowly I moved, away from there,

when I looked around Bruce and Arnold were there!

Action heroes!! To fight the bad guys any moment they could fly!

But they said they were waiting for SLY!

“Can I trouble you for a picture? while you wait for Sly?”

“Only, if you pose like an action hero!” was the reply!

I did my best, and posed for a pic,

Had Sly been there, it’d have been epic!

There were a few pretty ladies, in the hall,

looking at their beauty, even London Bridge could fall!

One of them could help you

if you wanted a telephone call!

“Please don’t think otherwise, it’s just a prop!”

I said, “But, It makes you look tall! :) ”

“I have to go! let me introduce you,

to my friend in the red dress, across the hall! ”

“No! No! I meant Freddie Mercury,

who’s playing in the hall!”

At this moment ‘I want it all!’

Photo By Author

And I want it now!

Again, this was my turn to go ‘wow!’

’Cause someone said, “Dua Lipa is playing now!”

Photo By Author

She invited me on the stage,

we shared a moment,

we were under the spotlight,

which, unlike the skies, shined really bright!

Photo By Author

Then I met, Iron man & the Hulk,

Photo By Author

there was also Captain America and heroes in bulk!

Photo By Author

What more should I say, about its dwellers;

Let’s talk about the place where lived these dwellers!

To spread the word is a cause I espouse!

when you come, search for Madame Tussaud’s wax house!

When you land in London, don’t go to the queen;

leave it for the pussy cat, you go where I have been!
