Once upon a time somebody had a really good idea.
To brighten the day of Tube travellers, they decided to put up poems inside the carriages in place of some of the adverts
This is my favourite.
Whalesong
I boom-mumble I bass-blow
I hull-heavy I big/slow
I boat bump I limpet-skin
I soft-sink I sky-swim
I sea-search I salt-swallow
I bone-backed I fluke-follow
I gulf-cross I listen-talk
I moon-map I wave-walk
I tail-turn I time-keep
I ship-wreck I song-seek
I blue-blood I grumble-sing
I fish-heart I dream king
