I Miss My Train. Comical poem 797 by Angela Lansbury

 

It's on a bridge above the street

The weird and wonderful people you meet

Home with shopping or out to eat

Saving your shoes, your time, your feet


The map can solve the mystery

The murals teach you history

The bus meets the train, the train the bus

Don't fuss. It's good for all of us


A train is like your grandmother

It's old, but then wears something new

But if it's late or disappears

You realise your thanks too few.

-ends-

The title is, of course, a pun. You miss the train physically by arriving too late at the station or platform. You miss it emotionally, remembering it nostalgically, wishing to see it again.
