Hotspot 13

A footman named Fortnum, quite bright,

Saved candles the Queen used each night.

With leftover wax,

And no need for snacks,

He sparked a retail delight.


When Heinz brought their beans to the shore,

They landed at Fortnum’s front door.

A gourmet elite,

A tinned savoury treat,

That shoppers began to adore.


The tourists all pause for the clock,

Crowding the street in a flock.

The founders emerge,

As the melodies surge,

Giving Piccadilly a bow and a shock.
