The Moody And Underground Underground

Whose underground is that? I think I know.
Its owner is quite sad though.
It really is a tale of woe,
I watch him frown. I cry hello.

He gives his underground a shake,
And sobs until the tears make.
The only other sound's the break,
Of distant waves and birds awake.

One afternoon I said to myself,
"Why aren't crossings more authorized?"
Down, down, down into the darkness of the crossings,
Gently they go - the unlicensed, the wildcat, the unofficial.
How happy are adjacent neighborhoods!
Down, down, down into the darkness of the neighborhoods,
Gently they go - the side by side, the next, the adjoining.
When I think of streets, I see a suburban room.
