Subway

written by Anastasia Suen illustrated by Karen Katz

we go down to go uptown down, down, down in the subway



tickets in turnstiles spin walk, walk, walk to the subway



a rush of air a car is there hop, hop, hop on the subway



away we go fast, not slow go, go, go on the subway



side by side in cars we ride ride, ride, ride on the subway



halfway there we take the stair step, step, step to the subway



left or right dark as night

night, night, night in the subway

open the door to let in more more, more, more on the subway



rock left, rock right we hang on tight rock, rock, rock in the subway



lights flicker flash as we hurry past flash, flash, flash in the subway



screech and pop here’s our stop bye, bye, bye subway!
