2522 - News from New Street

Woke up when the alarm started to play
And I became more alarmed then when I
Couldn't turn the thing off! Piccadilly
Station in the rain, still dark, wet pants, my
Seat on the train to Birmingham, early
Too early. Once again, big rebuilding
Works in the centre of that large city
Short walk to Norfolk House for the meeting
About meters and how they're measuring
The flow of oil. Stayed awake all the day
Until the train home, when I shut some eye
But also read some Grahame Greene. Catching
The Metroshuttle, home in time to see
Some football in the evening with Louis
