R44 5278 Posted December 28, 2008 Share #1 Posted December 28, 2008 This is for those that haven't seen it yet on Straphangers. The R38s are my second favorite for their rocky but non troubling experiences: Forty-four long and weary years The times rumbling West End to Coney Island To the times rocking the Fulton, indeed the true “Funland” Now gone before my own very tears Reliable above all, for failure was never the definition Pioneering the very aspect in 1967, rendering NYC so all cools Those that hated in ignorance, such glamorous fools Old Reliable, gleaming my past in that distinct mission The Grafitti era hovered all as a thundering cloud in light of day Filth and disgust shroud your gleaming presence Banishes all the beauty of your smooth essence Yet, it moved in a decade like Hell’s portal sealing in decay Still then, never was the same Problems, they were rare Left in erosion, a painful stare Replaced by a new generation of scraps, never your fame To join the fishes down the sea, a wasted excruciating pain Your comfort and yellow walls, surpasses other interiors Your exclusive logo of wisdom renders the rest inferior The day that you’re reefed, is the day of my slain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N-Trizzy2609 Posted December 29, 2008 Share #5 Posted December 29, 2008 Let me finish that poem with a funky rhyme! It's a little old-skool. Shining brightly through the sky, ducking low underground. Speeding down the express track, you can hear that sound. This is the train, next stop is the get down Sugar Hill. Let break off a brand new dance, you know got time to kill. With the ribbed side gleaming and breaks screaming, Got the train buff going nuts and and they're feeding. It's the St. Louis mastermind but I'm not talkin' bout Nelly. I'm talking that Train speeding faster then a Chevy. Meet me uptown cuz we ain't riding no four fours, We ride dirt eights, we got the rollsigns and more. It's -Train rhyming bout the Train so let's ride. I'm hopping on the R Thirty-Eight Fourty-One Thirty-Five! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
