As we drive past the old post office
with the big clock tower
that you call Big Ben
you ask me
like you always do
if we can go in there
it’s closed
I tell you
and this time
it really is
can I ever go in there
I tell you a friend of mine
got married there
I tell you that you don’t know them
but they have two kids
Amy and Joe
those are unusual names
you say
which makes me laugh
all the way home.
