My Thunderous Wondrous Electric Toy Train

It was shiny and bright sitting under the tree. There were other things there, but that's all I could see: a Lionel toy train on a circular track! The caboose was maroon and the engine was black. And to top it all off on this fine Christmas day, was an engineer's cap that I donned right away. I had deadlines to make and my job couldn't shirk, so I rolled up my sleeves, and went straight to my work. Utilizing impressive construction techniques, I made Tinker Toy tunnels through newspaper peaks. With an engine, a caboose, and three railroad cars, I would ride to the moon and haul back the stars! It sputtered and sparkled and went round and around with a clickety clackety sonorous sound, and an oily ozony odoriferous tang: my thunderous wondrous electric toy train! And then Daddy and I had to go out for bread, and to pick up the big Sunday paper he read. We're just about home when there was flashing of red... and the crossbars dipped down at the railroad ahead. As the freight train slowed up, I could clearly divine the big engineer's head with a cap just like mine! We dismounted and yelled, and I signed him three yanks. He gave me three toots - and I waved back my thanks. With my engineer's cap and my blue overalls, I was dressed in a style to give anyone pause! I had grand places to go and marvels to see... but Mommy had my breakfast all ready for me. It sputtered and sparkled and went round and around with a clickety clackety sonorous sound, and an oily ozony odoriferous tang: my thunderous wondrous electric toy train!
