  Object title	The bright lights of the West End
  Text	A professional poet from Sarratt Wooed his muse in a frost-bitten garratt When his scansion* broke down She would dash up to Town To revive her enthusiasm among the bright lights and warm gaiety of the West End. Be inspired yourself! The Underground runs until after midnight on weekdays. *He should have put another shilling in the metre.
