A train runs Cape Town to Cairo.
It will be through here by and by.
The route is straight as an arrow,
It’s like riding clouds through the sky.

with him
standing in the aisle

i'm wishing an endless
railroad ride
so i could dearly anchor
myself in his arms
that are almost touching mine

Skinny

Look at me
Skinny as a stick
Railroad thin
I don't see that
I see fat

135 pounds
Is what they see
195 pounds
Is what I see
Mirror, why do you lie to me?

Anna the bandit and shady jane
set out to rob a railroad train.
So, they went for the gold.
Then botched the escape.
In for ten, no parole,
Makin license plates.

Premium Member Edward Hopper: House By the Railroad

bathed in still shadows
from an afternoon glow
and wrapped inside splendour 
half faded half gone
this house from a time
remote silent and slow
stands trapped by the past
in a world moving on.

Premium Member Yellow Fellar

Poor beautiful yellow snail just enjoying sitting on the railroad rail
So sleek in God's design
Moving so slowly just sliding, slipping along
Here comes the morning train
Well, it won't be very long

Red Rum Roses

They thought that I was a damsel in distress
Tied unto their railroad tracks, until I took a bite..
This main course a franchise her vanilla cream skies ?
Tipping a martini two cherries virgin hues; the grateful dead.

The Rest of a Drifter Or Sleeping At the Station

Four o´clock in the morning.

Cold, alone and trying to sleep.

The bench at the railroad ticket office serves as the old boy cradle,

covered just by all the whole dreams of his life as a cooing blanket.

There lies The Drifter

Premium Member How Will You Find a Groom

Daisies came courting
I gave them a whack
Next was a bum
From the railroad track

I chased him off with my trusty broom
“How will you ever find a groom?”
My mother chastised me high and low
“I’m not looking for one,” I let her know.

Premium Member Train

The railroad cars rumble 
they tremble, pushing forth
tracks of steel guide the way
tons of heavy cargo
tired passengers gaze out
trees whisk past their windows 
trekking towards the sun.

You can get anywhere you want
On Hannibal's elephant
You can get anywhere you want
On Hannibal's elephant
Climb right up, ride on her back
Take you 'bout a mile down the railroad track
You can get anywhere you want
On Hannibal's elephant.

Railroad signs
By the tracks we see
Warn of the dangerous train
Ignoring the message written there
Could make quite a mess of thee
So heed what you read
Do not wreck
