Underground


On all Underground stations

Whose names begin with S

You will find a scaffold

 

I was informed of this as I brushed dust

From Mr Johnston’s coat

 

Quick we will miss our train and will late for the theatre

 

Do record your day I was asked

 

Leytonstone to West Brompton is not a long journey

But the stations are years apart

 

My friend is called ROTIS

I am not sure of her gender

 

She comes from Spain

 

On all Underground stations

Whose names begin with F

You will find MEN

Singing FADO songs

 

Maria Severa-Onofriana

Was the first famous FADO singer

On her death she was buried in a common ditch

 

There is an Underground Station

Named after her

But it has remained closed

I am sure that she would have appreciated the irony

 

Do you know that superficial means eternal?

I was not aware of that fact

A Swiss exchange student told me

As we discussed enclosure

 

On all Underground stations

Whose names begin with B

Only bitter fruits are found

You are invited to steal them after purchase

 

Trees can be found at Underground stations

Beginning with T

 

Do record your day I was asked

 

The girl opposite reminds me of Alice

Not Carroll’s Alice

But the Alice of the Modigliani painting

She lost a dear friend yesterday

And is grieving

 

Her friend was called Jackie
and they shared a love of cats

 

There are no Underground stations

Beginning with Z

If there were you would find

AZOO
