Choo Choo Charlie

Choo choo trains are so much fun As they puff along the tracks Full of happy clickety clack sounds With a little caboose on the back Chugging along up and down hills Singing some happy wee ditty His name is Choo Choo Charlie Bringing country folks to the city They're always in a big hurry These folks from the busy town Poppa needs to earn some money To pay for Momma's new gown In the land of big tall buildings There's not a happy face Seems like everyone's in a hurry As if they're running a race Charlie patiently waits until five To return them to their homes Can't wait to get them back on board Away from the glass and chrome It's strictly business all day long There's not much laughter allowed Till Charlie meets 'em at five o'clock Once more they're a happy crowd Why does it have to be this way Choo Choo Charlie wants to know Never mind, he's heading home Happy passengers all in tow!

I say, I really am having a blast reading your work tonight, after a rather busy day. I'm trying to find words to say to you. You're just so wonderful! Keep up the amazing work, Jack. Always, Laura

Reading this reminded me of those ancient black and white TV commercials for that candy coated licorice. As usual, an admirable write.
