Railway Trains
Railway trains
By Stanley Russell Harris
The new mad author
& A Poetry Soup honourably mentioned poet
The trains are on the mainline track,
the old, the new, futuristic too.
On the Yorkshire four lined track today,
they huff and puff or are quiet I say.
The flying Scotsman, now restored,
burning coal now from abroad!
Diesel trains, electric, also,
their fuel from overseas does flow.
So when the screws are put on us.
Rising costs I mean so much.
Perhaps we’ll travel the old way.
By Stagecoach and horses I say.
The highway men will not plague us.
As armed police will escort us!
And if with that you can’t agree.
Best use your feet and walk you see
No matter what type of fuel!
Work our transport from the pool.
Costs will rise, see if I’m right.
And I’ll be walking home each night.
