We ride upon the London tube
Which carries crowds from place to place
We listen for the destination
Distracting noise, trip feet, frown face
Each body, too, is like a tube
Water drunk in, must then come out
Food follows like the circle line
Drops energy, and germs, no doubt
We scatter workers through the town
To break fast, lunch, and dine and sup
They say that what goes up comes down
When sick what went down comes up
Choose well where to spend day and night
If you go home, sit, watch telly
Drink too much wine, you sleep or fight
But drink beer, get a beer belly
Don't forgot what we should expect.
There's logic, warning, in the world
As science says, cause and effect
Maps, banners, signs, results unfurled.

The London underground is called the tube because of the tunnels.
