The London Underground
A helpful poem on how to navigate the London Underground.
Being in London you might take the Underground,
So here are fun facts and a little how-to:
-
In 1863 the Underground made its debut.
The city of London it does run through.
And despite its name, only 45% is underground- which I never knew.
-
There are 12 lines that have different colors, so here is a little preview:
Piccadilly is dark blue and Victoria is light blue.
Northern is black and Jubilee is grey; which leaves from Waterloo.
Central is red while Waterloo & City is a turquoise hue.
Hammersmith & City is pink, and going from east to west is what it will do.
Circle & District are yellow and green, yes this is true.
Metropolitan magenta, Overground orange, Bakerloo brown are alliterations, a helpful clue.
And Elizabeth line is purple which at the end of some year will be brand new.
-
And during rush hour there will be a queue.
So please mind the gap as you might fall through.
And mind the closing doors or you might lose a shoe.
If you are ill and go ach-oo!
Please use your elbow, a handerkerchief, or tissue.
And one last reminder always be nice to the underground crew.
