The London tube

isituorme

Squeeze up squeeze in and all aboard
Avert your stare ,look to the floor ,or read the adverts up on high ,there's something there to hold your stare,but if eye contacts meekly made ,don't smile and quickly look away ,but hold the gaze and think good thoughts ,this could a handsome friendship launch ,or maybe from these depths Spring love which could be taken up above ,the people who your down here with could all have little bits to give,to change your life enrich your future ,you alway see fellow commuters ,as in a race to take your place ,who take the seat bags at there feet ,but look again there's so much more ,this world below could hold in store ,before you ride back to the surface ,take a new look at life's circus .

    THANKS ISITU ~ I OFTEN GO TO LONDON ~ and if I want to get from A (Acton Central) to B (Barbican) the Tube gets me there efficiently ~ economically and effectively. It is the World's No. 1 Tube System. However as you say "All Human Life is there". Every class colour culture cross-section and more close up and personal than a dance floor ~ especially at "rush hour". I regularly fall in love on the tube ~ but alas only between stops ~ because the Tube is Middle Earth and we are all transitory Hobbits. Your BRIAN

      I know about transport for London πŸ˜‰
      Very chaotic especially during rush hour.. Just remember questioning life while having to commute to work..
      I enjoyed it πŸ’πŸ’πŸ’

          Have you seen the way people commute on the trains in Japan? 😱
          Human sardines..
          That will be one heck of a poem if you ever wrote one πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
