THE SMOG OF LONDON

On Friday the fifth of December 1952 it came 
To London's fair city a smog was its name 
Reducing visibility and penetrating indoors 
Causing panic in homes and general stores

This smog lasted and lingered for several days
Death to its people was the unfortunate next phase
Up to twelve thousand people were ill or died
Others battled through showing London pride 

London will always remember this terrible smog
Far more dangerous then any storm or fog 
Masks were worn then as they are today 
Both virus and smog are having their say
