Wish I'D Brought Along a Cushion

Here I am sitting way up here
not very comfy on my behind
wish I'd brought along a cushion
nice and soft any colour or kind

You see I've always liked trains
but never really got real close up
so thought this can't get any closer
now what would be nice! coffee cup!

Wonder when the next one's due
no notice board around to see
well it's nice day to wait around
lovely colours there on the trees

Think this track will hold me?
well all the years trains it's held
funny what you think when left alone
many thoughts makes mind excelled

This seat is really getting sore
wish I could see that old puff puff
this would really make my day
if not then I'll just go off in huff!

( imagining sitting next to railway track waiting on train to come along)

A very nice poem, Gordon, with just a light touch of humor... I have never taken a ride on a train. I hope to travel down those tracks one day :)

Thanks Kelly, glad you liked it. Amazing that you've never been on a train, I'm sure you'll love it as US has such a history of great trains. Blessings Gordon
