The F line poem

Take the F line to Brooklyn

Let's go to Avenue N

where English class will never end.

Go past Avenue I

then Bay Parkway you'll see with your eyes.

Don't miss the cemetery from the train!

Next stop is Avenue N but suddenly you are on Avenue P. Isn't Avenue N where you should be?

from local to express service, it's quite variable.

if you don't want to take a walk on Coney Island.

So wait for the next train on Avenue P

your frozen nose you will see.

Hey! Not so bad, the F train is coming

but again you miss Avenue N until tomorrow morning.
