#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.)
