Title: Tube trains are sad
Author: C T L Smith
Tube trains are sad:
They slope down at the sides,
They're painted all grey,
They're in darkness all day,
And they have to stick always on rails as their guides.

Buses are happy:
They're shiny and bright,
And unlike the Tube
They can stay out all night,
If they want.
They're taller than fences and trees,
They know very well:
They're the fucking bee's knees.

Tube trains are sad:
They are born without wings,
Without buttons to push
Or those dangly things
To hold on to -
For now there are handrails instead -
And the worst of it is:
They're not bright fucking red!
