Train Ride

Clickity clack, clickity clack
the sound keeps coming back
I remember the ride,
had time to bide,
	as the train clattered along.

We swished and swirled further beyond
the burbling golden pond
than I had ever been,
affirmed my grin,
	as the train whizzed gaily along.

I remember the zip and zap,
then the sharp, sudden snap,
my head against the seat
and the fierce heat
	as the train swiftly zoomed along.

I remember the sudden smash,
the sound of booming crash,
dreadful growling rail wheels,
turned on their heels
	as the train shrieked and screeched along!
