Spotted this poem somewhere between 18th Jan 2011 to 24th Jan 2011 on a tube. I have noticed that TFL have posted new poems and I'm happy about it. I was bored to see the same old poems :)

This one also should have been spotted by me between the same time period when I spotted the above poem Riddle. I remember to have thought of how I didn't carry my HTC Desire the oter day and missing to capture a poem and hoped that I find one after entering the tube and I found one :)
