Poem on the Underground

Poem on the Underground by D.J. Enright ' Proud readers Hide behind tall newspapers. The young are all arms and legs Knackered by youth. Tourists sit bolt upright Trusting in nothing. Only the drunk and the crazy Aspire to converse. Only the poet Peruses his poem among the adverts. Only the elderly person Observes the request that the seat be offered to an elderly person.
