Whilst I went gaily,
Through Elephant and Castle,
I dropped my podumes.
If there is one thing
That I truly cannot stand
It is the haiku.
I tend to agree
But, dearest friend JLE,
It's art in MC.
Apparently.
Don't know about you,
But I think that Golders Green
Restores my spirit.
Podumes a-plenty,
Token stacks climb heavenward
So:Lancaster Gate
I shall grab just one,
As I needed the plastic.
Now, make for Loughton.
Battening hatches:
Caledonian Road and...
Barnsbury! So there!
Thus I chance upon Edgware Road, Who is so wise that could have knowed?
Is Topaz playing
The same game as we all are?
Clearly Tower Hill.
He/she is, but lines
are not his/her strongest point
Me? Queen's Park Perfect!
Wherefore the Rangers?
Perhaps they be lurking in
the depths of Green Park.
To the uninformed
This move could look quite stupid.
What do they know? Bank.
My humblest apologies, fair grindlings My HTML should prove to be grander Should I penetrate the walls of Museum...?
Damnation and curses, my train has gone twice its terminal velocity at Museum... I have retired from this game... the pace was simply too fast for a poor old codger such as I, trying to get from Museum.
Alas, Topaz, had you been the smartest of the game, you should have followed the bakerloo line to Regents' Park

Up the Northern Line
The End's in sight. Here we are!
Mornington Crescent.

Laughing at mistakes
Made by assassins. Ha-ha!
West Acton. Full stop.
Resuming this game
With verve and alacrity -
Onward to Leyton!
Tottenham Court Road!
That's where we all aspire to,
In our wildest dreams.
I don't have wild dreams
So I have to make do with
boring old Chalk Farm.
Aspiration Trumped,
Gil: Glorious Ascendant
Forces Warren Street
Interestingly
I can now half the LV
And advance to Bank.
Fresh and new to game
Stand in awe of veterans
And head for Burnt Oak
Knightsbridge (or maybe Latimer road??? Never)
Let's go to Old Street
Brandishing podumes so green
And strangely tacky.
Lacking clearer hope
Gather stray tokens, and move
To Fulham Broadway
I'll play Cutty Sark
(for Maritime Greenwich) - Bang!
Hit your battleship.
That was not clever.
It clears the way to Green Park
You know what that means.
Indeed we do know
And must ask why you force me
To play Dollis Hill
And in turn, escape
Via Ongar, threatening
MC in seven.
MC in seven?
We'll soon put a stop to that!
Kings Cross St Pancras.
Kings Cross St Pancras?
I was going to go there
So, Shoreditch instead
*whiskering* Temple.
MC now impregnable.
ner ner ne ner ner
To shed my LV
Forces me all the way out
To Colindale. Rats!
