Barking, the redundant worker cries,
Upton Park, a cheating husband lies.
Whitechapel, an art student seeks refuge in the Gallery,
Farringdon, At the Grand Union pub, the office worker ‘blows,’ her salary.
Paddington, the little girl awaits a glimpse of Mr Bear,
Westbourne Park, the mistress sends a text to end her love affair.
Westfield London Shopping Centre, is just around the corner from Wood Lane,
The overworked NHS worker descends at Hammersmith, the last stop on this train.

okay if you get on at the start and get a corner seat armed with a good book so you can pretend to read and still take a sly look at your fellow passengers. been there and done it - but not on this line.
Nice one Michael.
I certainly observe on the underground but a book is a perfect cover to cleverly observe London life on the underground.

I want to write a great batch of poems
before I post
I know I can write a lot of fine poetry
we all have to be patient.
A fine write Fine. Yes, and some parts of the Underground are above ground. I recall going DOWN some steps somewhere to an exit of an underground station.
Thank you Orchidee.
Glad you liked it.

I'm American with a mother who was born in England. to tell you the truth
id'e rather be English. a lot of my thoughts are over their.
