On the Subway

push and shove
shove and push
keep your mitts
off o' my tush

so what we're packed
like sardines in a tin
don't you know 
there's no butting in

Oohoohoo! The subway at rush hour. Here in Canada it's the c-train. Well said. Made me smile. God Bless, JB

Haha! Does the 'c' in c-train stand for Canada?! In Chicago, the 'c-trains' are where everyone snorts coke for the whole ride. Just kidding, though the day is not too far away, I imagine. ~ gw

ha! oh, for the good old days, gershon! i can't picture ever riding the subways again and that was one of my main modes of transportation in the city...

I don't blame you one bit, ilene. The subways are the bane of urban existence. I rode a few subways on my last visit to NYC a year ago. Scary --- although not nearly as bad as Chicago, where the homeless hang out, ride for free, and smoke dope all day. I'm not making this up! It's a very, very bad joke here. But we've got a County Prosecutor who 'identifies with' the thugs and crooks who tore Chicago apart during the George Floyd riots this summer. My God! She's supposed to be prosecuting them, not feeling sorry for them. And she won reelection easily in our one-party dictatorship here in Chi-town... Oh, well. C'est la vie! :) gw

Lol! Gershon, No subways for me. It's way too crowded! I enjoyed the read. Have a great day:-) Alexis

Really?! The subways here in Chicago are operating at 20% capacity at best ever since last March. I though that was true everywhere in the USA. Ta-ta, Gershon
