Terry Miller Poet Verse

An Extra Mile

Roy went an extra mile last week
while traveling from Stoke to Leek
by high-speed rail (First-Class, off-peak).

In truth, a little more;

It was an extra sixty-three
he ended up in Oswestry;
decided to explore and see;

He’d never been before.

He saw the castle and the keep;
It is one way to travel cheap;
to board a train then fall asleep;

(the secret’s not to snore).

Terry Miller August 8, 2023 at 7:43 AM Oh me too; home on weekend leave Friday nights up from Pompey (after a few, and many years ago) we got to writing the names of our station on a notepad and pinning it to our chest. Thank you for visit.
