Poem Inspired By Unattended Luggage Announcement At London Bridge Station

Please do not leave your luggage unattended
At this station.
Unattended luggage may be removed, destroyed or damaged
By the security services;

Unattended luggage may turn into an elephant
Or a rhinoceros.

Unattended luggage may eat a cake or a meringue.
It may run off with your girlfriend or boyfriend
Or melt into a puddle of sticky oil.

Unattended luggage may sing at the top of its voice
And offend commuters.

Unattended luggage may float, unpack itself or go on holiday all by itself without you,
Or other things that you might not expect or desire from unattended luggage.

So

Please do not leave your luggage unattended at this station.
