Out of Transit: Eavesdropping on Subway Musicians

New York City subways have a
Range of good guitars.
One guy has a whole piano,
One just plays sitar.

Two men got on at 34th,
going north to play.
Another one at 42,
63rd today.

I learned that daylight isn't safe,
Making players fear,
But after 5 or 6 or so,
Cops like what they hear.

So if you play a kettle drum,
Cello or trombone,
Be sure to pick a midnight shift;
They'll leave you alone.
