Mornington Crescent - Haiku Edition

Here is my idea
Game of Mornington Crescent
But in Haiku form

The rules are simple
Standard MC rules in force
One special rule, though;

Each move consists of
No more than one Haiku verse
That is all, thank you

This rule shall thus be
Strictly enforced - break it, and;
You shall go in spoon.

Without more ado
I shall open the game with
The station Epping.

Peterson's sixteenth
From whence we're in spoon

Or perhaps a google search,
You'll soon pick it up!

Neil, as an aside;
Would you count "idea" to have
Two or three syll'bles?

(People please note that
For the above Haiku verse,
I let it be two)

I would say it's three
I pronounce it as "ee-yuh"
That's the end of that

I go Aldgate East
Heard that was good move. Not Sure
Use backwards goat rule!

Reverse internal
Backward flip with token swap
Means we come to BANK

My initial thought
Agreed with your statement there
So therefore this means

That "The Raven" was
Two syllables over se'en
And not just the one.
