"A Poem on the Underground Wall" is a song written by Paul Simon, first released as a recording on the Simon and Garfunkel album Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. The Simon and Garfunkel boxed set Old Friends includes a live version of the song, prefaced by an anecdote from Garfunkel about its origin: he explains that a photo shoot for the cover of the album Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. was ruined because the subway wall they had intended to use as a backdrop had obscenities written on it.
A rerelease of Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme includes a demo version of the song, performed only by Simon, that includes a false start before the completed third take.

I have offten wondered what the 4 lettered word was that was put on the wall. I have this LP and also have this song on reel to reel tape, So that shows you how old I am. I never get tired of Simon & Garfunkel, although, I think "Sounds Of Silence" got to much airplay.

Yeah, but it was a gloomy time I suppose, and now at leats you know what the four letters were: F-U-C-K
