Heading Northbound

Rat a tat tat - train on slow track Each day takes me - to work and back My mind it tune - clickety clack Its hypnotic - repeating sound Resonating - within my mind Rat a tat tat - it goes around But it must go - hear squeal below Tis terminus - no further go Sadly now end - that rhythmic flow

Many thanks Deb. I love these bits of rhythm that we hear in everyday life. Lots of railway poems for example W H Auden's, Night Mail. Rat a tat tat. Best wishes. Tony
