Longfellow is falling down



The Longfellow Bridge [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longfellow_Bridge] 
is in horrible shape and this format seemed appropriate because:
a) Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth was a poet
b) Longfellow used a previous bridge in the same location to travel from 
Cambridge to Boston to court his future wife Frances "Fanny" Appleton, 
which is why the bridge is named after him, and
c) Longfellow looks and sounds a lot like London if you squint and are 
hard of hearing.

My fair lady.
