The Ferro-Equinologist
In all his nine years of life he wanted to be a Train Conductor
to wear the hat, wave back to the children who were waving at him, pull the chord, blow the horn, oh if only...
He'd dreamed and studied the ways of pulling box cars with RR written on the sides of them, passenger cars, flat cars, refrigerator cars, coil cars.
He wanted to pull the flat car loaded with vehicles and bring them in to watch them unload the trucks. In the stock car he would pull the livestock,which he called cows and pigs, to their destinations and take great pride in his milk car, supplying the nation. Trains made up his brain.
His time had come for on his tenth birthday he was presented with a toy train and is now an official ferro-equinologist.
