Poem
While others writers think of love you’ve shat on that pure white dove. Before on and on, I must go, I’m telling others of what I know. Love to ride the ‘Royal Scotsman,” but this train I’m on is full of flotsam. What I’m saying is so loaded with duress, Its’ like riding the “Midnight Express!” When you first pulled into my station, this old heart was filled with elation. At first things really went fine, unscheduled love was always on time. But love doesn’t run on a rigid time table, I’m tossing you off while I’m still able. I’m not one to be keeping score, don’t catch your ass in the exit door. First you changed from commuter to freight, all the while saying “ain’t this great?” Now I’m carrying a very heavy freight load, my heart is chugging, ready to explode. You always think you’re the lead conductor, No wonder friends call you Hannibal Lucktor. I’m tired of you always blowing your whistle, you’re the pain in the ass you get from a thistle. You were demoted from engineer to porter, this really screwed up our manifest order. Instead of your up front driving, which I loved, ya put a foot in my ass n’ shoved. Day n’ night your mouth goes Yakity Yak, driving your hate spikes Klickety Klack. Since I’m not the last one you let on board, love’s driven down, now I am floored. Folks would say our love’s a signal flop, so I’m getting off before the flag stop. And where would that next place be? Where you try to totally, dominate me! I know where the air brakes on this train are, you’ve switched from sleeper to a baggage car. You always lash out with such hysteria, makes me think you’ve got diphtheria. So I am punching your last ticket to ride, Frankly, you can shove or stick it inside. Before I lose the last of my brain, you n’ yer baggage jump another runaway train. * For Runaway train contest and no this certainly isn't about me. LOL
