Need a poem type thing ...

I'm taking dd to London for a long weekend next month as a surprise for her upcoming birthday. I'd like to write a wee poem or Limerick to give to her in an envelope after she's opened her gifts but nothing is really coming to me ...

Anyone good with words and for some spare time to compose something?

Only requirements are in ends in "going to London" or "weekend in London" or "London baby!" type wording

If it helps we will be mostly shopping, eating out sightseeing and going to the theatre

TIA

Oh I love things like this! My brain is currently a bit mushy (thanks to my newborn!), but how about something like:

Xx [DD name]. it’s your xx[16th?] birthday!
So the celebrations need to be worthy.
A weekend with shopping galore,
Food, a show and much more
In London! It’ll be a great journey ❤️

I thought I would write a little birthday ditty!
We are going on a trip to the big city!
Bristol? Bath? Or perhaps Glasgow?
I bet you are just dying to know!
I wonder if you’ll scream and shout
When you find it’s London, without a doubt!

DD, you've opened gifts galore
And here you have just one more
The gift of time with your dear mum
Sightseeing, shopping, having lots of fun
Where could that be? [Hometown] maybe?
Oh no, we're off to London, baby!

A lass who had just turned sixteen,
Wished for city sights to be seen,
And a West End show
And shops in a row,
So for her birthday her lovely mum took her to London to visit the queen!
