#4 The London Underground

Came in an aeroplane from Heathrow -
    Tried to keep the in-flight meal down;
The pilot's voice awoke us -
    Glad you enjoyed your flight the currency is a sterling pound.

We traveled to London
    Not over half-an-hour did it take:
Observing all things quite new -
    Quite stunning the graffiti youths like to make.

Began the steep escalator descent,
    Which, as is well-known, can be quite crowded;
Youths wondered why doederant to elders was unkown,
      Elders heard buskers, wondered who'd allowed it.

A few moments or so,
    After not finding a space for seating,
We left the underground -
   Just one stop further in our travelling.

(Post Scriptum to whom it may concern: just might be
   That if afford it one can
A taxi-cab is faster, and funner,
   Than crowding in the tube like sardines in a can.)
