Tube Times
Of all thy fearsome works, O Lord,
Flood, Fire, Famine and the sword,
Most Potent is the sight and sound
Of London’s mighty Underground.
In Pandemonium below
The silver bullets come and go.
Of steel and aluminium
They come and go and go and come.
They grunt, they grind, they shriek, they cough.
Hell’s Angels stumble on and off.
“Mind the doors!” the devils say
Before each bullet speeds away
To Seven Sisters, Tottenham Hale,
Barking, Balham, Maida Vale,
Hainault, Fairlop, Leytonstone,
Tooting Bec and Mary-le-bone
