Among the sights of London Town

Which little visitors wish to view, / The Tower stands first, and its great renown / Has, you will notice, attracted Prue.

At a well-known spot, to Miss Prue's surprise, / Some fine old ravens are strutting about. / If upon the picture a glance you cast, / You will know the ravens next time, no doubt.

The red-coated guard who's watching here / Is called a Beefeater -- fancy that! / And Prue discovers, as she draws near, / A child by his side who is round and fat.

"Father and Mother, pray come here," / In tones so pleasant, laughs lively Prue: / "You've shown "me" things that are odd and queer, / A Beefeater's baby I'll show "you"!
