You: come Tube running
With the Underground bandits
Bring mask and biscuits.

When your train's on time
And you're ahead for a while
Smile, Underground trial

Mill Hill East train late
Why subject me to this hell?
Put head in hands; cry

Look, severe delays
Fury building up inside
Metronet will pay

"There are no escalators on the District line" is a bare-faced lie! How dare it say such a thing?

"Do not say the Slash"
That's what Axl would say, and
"Tube Challenge, what's that"?

Hainault for thirty
Sounds much like a Scrabble move
Except without score.

Haikus are great, and
Haikus are cool, yes Haikus
They certainly rule.

Tube challenging, on
a Saturday afternoon
You must be kidding.
