Poem
RIDING THE TRAIN Catchin' the train to the city makes an interesting day Peak hours all the workers going to earn their pay Many nationalities all different in their own way And then there's the trains always a delay I silently watch as I sit alone Many of them busy on their phones One calls for a ride they're nearly home Another rejects a call number unknown An elderly couple sit near the doors Shopping trundle in hand, out to the stores One another they obviously adore Weekly shopping to them is no chore A young man with headphones sits down below Tapping his feet to the radio Looks like a student with a portfolio Maybe Art he looks like Michelangelo A middle aged woman above takes a seat Dressed impeccably she's extremely neat As she sits you can see her physique Very fit but oh so petite A group of young students are making a noise Some other passengers it really annoys One of them says 'Can you be quiet please Boys' But they just get worse and increase their voice A mum with a pram and a child in tow Pointing through the doors at the arched rainbow The child sits on a seat looking out the window Mum's in a hurry but the trains' on a go slow The end of the day and I'm heading home A busker at the station plays his xylophone The station manager speaks into a speaker phone It's amazing the walks of life a train ride has shown!
