…g…o…t…t…a…
keep it steamin’ on all fronts
– chugga, chugga, chugga –
engine shunts
— coasting on the flat —
/and down the slopes \
\struggling up the mountains/
how it copes
incredulous to see
although horrific
balletic in display
!!!!! so goddamned specific !!!!!
enemies around
trains on the track
no diversions here
‘we’ve got your back’
– choo-choo, choo-choo, choo-choo –
what a pain
gotta win our cause
what? fuck! again?
got…ta…got…ta…got…ta
keep right on
knowing, even while
those days are gone
knackered at the yard
rusted, forlorn
pistons straining
empire days long gone
where’s the change
in terminology
…locomotive, train…
‘psychology’
wanton in excess
(on all the sides)
aggression wins
oh yeah? hist’ry decides
no worries, folks
Casey’s on the whistle
humming tune, new
apostolic epistle
***shunty***shunty*** shunty ***
gasp (O) and groan 😦
passengers resigned
shrug shoulders, moan….bugger, shit, feck, fuck!
destination’s further
down the line
worry not, guys
future’s lookin’ fine 🙂
just around next bend 🙂 🙂
a few more miles 🙂 🙂 🙂
slightly further on 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 (sweat hope!)
we’ll all have smiles 😉
at reaching place
we took the journey to
I’m getting off this train
don’t know ‘bout you.
lookin’ for the trap
or just lay abed.
Brilliant sis. xxx

Thank you. Laying abed is a good option at times. I’m not out of mine yet! 🙂

I pride myself on still arising at 4:30 am as I’ve done for 50 years – only these days, I wind up back asleep in my chair by 10:00 am
