Excerpt from Streets: A Book of London Verses Streets Church Street wears ever a smile, from having watched bright belles Coming home with young men, after balls, "at all hours." Its villas don't mind, they say, "Go it, young swells, We've been young, too!" But Ebenezer Street glowers. Chapel deacons live here, with side whiskers and pompous wives, Who play hymns on Sundays, and deeply deplore sinful acts. They're convinced that their neighbours lead scandalous private lives, - That you and I ought to be shot if one "knew all the facts." Goreham Street's sad. Here lives old Jones the poet - He knew Swinburne and Watts, and has letters from "dear Charlie Keene." Loo Isaacs lives here as well, and poor Captain Jowett: And the "Goreham Street Murder" was over at number thirteen.
