These days, if you travel by train,
You will hear without any strain,
The warbling tones,
Of those damned mobile phones,
Which some people find quite a pain.

I'd just make one modification,
Which would be to add amplification,
To those dear little speakers,
So eavesdropping peekers,
Could hear the whole conversation.

* * *
When your job causes stresses and strain,
And you're suffering those pressures and pains,
And your life's down the funnel...
At the end of the tunnel - 
Is that light, or merely a train.

* * *


This train is a diesel gas turbine,
you can tell by the distinctive whine,
But just to be clear,
I'll just get down here,
And put my ear to the li..

Tiddy.

* * *

To the station I rushed for a train,
I was late and under great strain,
On the stairs I did trip
And went base over tip,
Landing up at the foot in great pain.

"Did you miss a step, there then, my son?"
Asked a lady concerned; I said "None,
From summit to floor,
I count forty four,
And I must have hit every one."
