Conducting the Mussetle Train

On the Mussetle Train I go Going s l o w l y. . . going nowhere Where can I take this train, pray tell? Prayers are needed for this trip! Tripping on words, I run off course Of course, I can get back on track But tracks for this train are not wide Good width would help me move better The best I can do is stop now! for the Mussetle Train - Poetry Contest Sorry for the train wreck, Richard!!

I guess this is another form you are trying Andrea, with no doubt your usual flair and commitment, it reads well and at least has the happy ending..' 7

All aboard obscurity, my favorite place to go. Traveling without a net is all I've come to know. But unlike you, I don't know when to come back down to earth. My only hope is that you find that my nonsense has worth. Peace. :)

Wow, the form you used here is truly magnificent for your subject! It was as if you were on a train, slow-faster-slow-slow-faster-slow... I would love a ride my friend! What a stupendously flowing piece, Great Work!!
