Best Choo Choo Poems
Little Ant Choo Choo TrainFive little ants, chugging along
Alternatively, perhaps it was six, hard to tell
I saw no engine nor did I see a caboose
Saw no little smoke stack belching smoke
Nor did I hear a whistle blow
However, these little fellows were sure determined
To get where they were going
Or perhaps...

Choo Choo CharlieChoo choo trains are so much fun
As they puff along the tracks
Full of happy clickety clack sounds
With a little caboose on the back
Chugging along up and down hills
Singing some happy wee ditty
His name is Choo Choo Charlie
Bringing country folks to the city
They're always in a...

A world passes by

White clouds of smoke drift behind...

Coo Coo For My Choo ChooThe trains are always on time
One running north
One running south
On the same track
It makes perfect sense when they collide
Who are we to question business practice
Authority is always right up and down the line
Little Bambi nibbles grass between the rails
Poor thing doesn't understand mass transit
East and...

The Me Too Choo ChooHopping on the me too choo choo
Generated a lot of power
By many who were wronged it's true
But could that mighty power sour?
Some might join for easy money
A case or two already haunt
The me too choo choo could derail
And nobody gets what they want!...

Choo, Choo!Choo, Choo!
Trains
Go fast
Transporting
People and goods
To diverse places
Where men have built the rails
Throughout countries of the world
Vacation tours on trains are fun.
Urban or rural, it matters not.
The Choo, choo, trains singsround the bend... Whooah! whooah!

Petition To a Choo-Choo TrainPetition to a Choo-choo Train
Oh, jolly little choo-choo Train;
Rolling quickly down the track.
Take him far away from me,
And never bring him back.
Take him far away;
So maybe I'll be free.
Cause the no-good likes of him.
Spells trouble just for me.
Take him far away from here.
Where I'll see...

Christmas Choo ChooThe Christmas Choo Choo is coming around the bend.
The joy she gives to children simply cannot end.
We are happy to see her, she brings such enjoyment to us.
She’ll be here in a minute, chugging on the railroad truss.
The Christmas Choo Choo is coming. She’ll be...
