In the choo choo train

Stretching and straining

grey alloy wheels rolled

scaring

pretty, fresh linen

was it a

curtained gowned troll?

oops 

arghh

this was not to be told!

"Wake up, wakeup

Time to dance, frolic and sing"

sometimes they crooned left

sometimes they snooped right

leftright left rightleft right leftleft rightleftright

they peeked

sneaking, listening, arguing, mumbling

"we're just hanging"

New faces

were brightening

the pristine

tube white light

luggage quickly got arranged

thank-god, nothing happened

more than a fight

world rocked

on this manned track

Glossed panes

suddenly  s h u d d e r e d

what was the fright?

each silver kin

shook

choochoo! choochoo!

look!

another world had neared in sight.

Tiffin tired

treatymeaty meals

then opened

appetizing

the

coffin visited tales

which were being re-re-re-re-re...told

none were spared

when

sassy nonsensical jokes popped

unleashing giggles

beyond control

what more could have this journey wished to behold?

This miniature universe

rocked on

zooming to destination

burping all along the way 

its

sparky holiday anticipation.
