The London Overground - Watford Junction to Euston

FineB

Watford scored a stunning victory at Vicarage Road,

En route to Euston, at Watford Junction I jumped on board the Over ground train,

The air was filled with jubilant Watford fans singing,

What an enjoyable journey it was to Headstone Lane.

Foreign exchange students entered at Kenton,

My carriage was alive with a variety of languages from the EU,

Some adolescent girls were an annoying presence at North Wembley,

With their foul language they turned the air blue.

Along we travelled to Harlesden,

A beggar went around asking for money,

Two pensioners shared a joke and were in hysterics,

At Kensal Green, a crying toddler had dropped her cuddly bunny.

Kilburn High Road, I reminisced about the Tricycle Theatre,

I had my first teen date there,

A young couple sat beside me at South Hampstead,

Deeply in love, he constantly stroked her hair.

The train pulled in at Euston,

My over-ground journey has come to an end,

I am off to enjoy a nice glass of wine,

I am celebrating Watford’s victory with a fellow fan and friend.

  • Comment from author about the poem: In London, not only do you have the London Underground network connecting London there is also the London Overground connecting all parts of London. I like the Overground, the carriages are so much bigger and spacious compared to the underground carriages. Here are my thoughts on the local Overground connection I usually travel on - Watford Junction to Euston (in both directions) I love this Overground line.

      Hi Orchidee,

      Thank you for reading.

      France - more likely Guernsey or Jersey - The Channel Islands!

      Bognor - nice I'm a bit partial to Brighton.

      Ahh, you taking a birthday journey today? - I see - best wishes! One of my niece's birthday too.
      I probably take a trip to Bognor, or Clacton, or Skegness - some really 'exciting' place! (not?). lol.
