Train Track Ghost Hobo Inspired By Alexis Poem

These tracks are placed side by side
Yet run in the same direction
Never touching except by railroad ties
Click, click, tap, tap is the sound the engineer hears

A hobo I see has placed his sack upon these tracks
With beans Ala cart with a quarter and a dime
Inside his sack
With tons of power clicking down the track

It hits this Hobos sack leaving
A dime the size of a quarter and beans all over the track
Skidding to a stop 2 miles away
This hobo devastated left with only eight words to say

Crap, I left my sack on the track

Hi Bobby, You have penned such a well written "ghostly" tale. I'm humbled that something I wrote inspired you to write a poem such as this. Have a fantastic day my friend:-) Alexis
