Six roads diverged in a roundabout,
And sadly, I'm not aware where each one goes.
As a new commuter, there I doubt,
Which road I'll take and its fare amount
In the dizzying lanes of the new Metro.

After some thought, I've finally settled,
To choose Cubao as my fated destination,
Because that is where all roads wrestled.
Though traffic is tight, loud, and disgruntled,
It's the best choice for a commuter's salvation.

Cubao caters to all our needs for transportation.
Whether your next stop is Morayta or SM Fairview,
There's always a ride to your next location.
If jeeps aren't your forte, there's the MRT station.
If you feel quirky, there's buses heading to Bicol and Cebu.

So in times where you feel the commuter's haze,
I tell you this as a fellow commuter and Tamaraw;
If you feel lost in the roads that feel like a maze,
Take Cubao to avoid unnecessary mistakes;
Because all roads eventually lead to Cubao.
