The poem format was maybe a bit too constraining, so here's yet another silly word game we can play with Tube stations. As with the poem, we're going from one end of the line to the other, one station at a time, but this time each player has to write an acrostic - a sentence (or sequence of sentences) in which the initial letters of each word spell out the name of the station. So for the Waterloo and City line we might have:
William and Tony each really liked olive oil.
But Anna never knew.
I don't know if there's much chance of making this one into a coherent narrative, but we can try!
This time I'll start with the Hammersmith and City line. (Please try and stick to the right line this time )
Harriet adored Michael's magnificent earring. Rashly, she mentioned it to him.

"For a rupture, reiki is no good," Danvers observed, nodding. "But a real benefit: it can alleviate nerves. Maybe one of reiki's greatest advantages - thoroughly effective."
"Look, it's very easy repeating platitudes," opined our little sceptic. "The real effect evades testing."
Audibly, Lord Danvers got a tad exasperated, employing a sarcastic tone. "Well, Harriet, is the entire complementary health area pointless? Even loathsome?"
She took exception. "Pointless, no. Evil, yes! Grotesque, ridiculously expensive, evil nonsense."
"Maybe I like expensive evil nonsense, darling."
