Rhyme Of The Rail By John Godfrey Saxe
Singing through the forests
Rattling over ridges
Shooting under arches
Rumbling over bridges
Whizzing through the mountains
Buzzing over the vale
Bless me this is pleasant
Riding on the Rail
Men of different stations
In the eye of Fame
Here are very quickly
Coming to the same
High and lowly people
Birds of every feather
On a common level
Traveling together
Gentleman in shorts
Looming very tall
Gentleman at large
Talking very small
Gentleman in tights
With a looseish mien
Gentleman in gray
Looking rather green
Gentleman quite old
Asking for the news
Gentleman in black
In a fit of blues
Gentleman in claret
Sober as a vicar
Gentleman in Tweed
Dreadfully in liquor
Stranger on the right
Looking very sunny
Obviously reading
Something rather funny
Now the smiles are thicker
Wonder what they mean
Faith he's got the knicker
Bocker Magazine
Stranger on the left
Closing up his peepers
Now he snores amain
Like the Seven Sleepers
At his feet a volume
Gives the explanation
How the man grew stupid
From Association
Ancient maiden lady
Anxiously remarks
That there must be peril
Among so many sparks
Roguishlooking fellow
Turning to the stranger
Says it's his opinion
She is out of danger
Woman with her baby
Sitting visavis
Baby keeps a squalling
Woman looks at me
Asks about the distance
Says it's tiresome talking
Noises of the cars
Are so very shocking
Marketwoman careful
Of the precious casket
Knowing eggs are eggs
Tightly holds her basket
Feeling that a smash
If it came would surely
Sent her eggs to pot
Rather prematurely
Singing through the forests
Rattling over ridges
Shooting under arches
Rumbling over bridges
Whizzing through the mountains
Buzzing over the vale
Bless me this is pleasant
Riding on the Rail
