Along the Mineral Line

Along the Mineral Line

 

Listen,

can you hear her coming

All the way

from over yonder

All the way

To Bishops Lydeard

Can you

feel the pressure rising …

Pistons shoving, pushing,

pulsing ..

Hark now listen,

can you feel her coming

Surely,

then it must be,

all of ten plus forty-two

precisely ..

Ah, aaahh ah .. she sighed

Bang

on time then my lovely …

Oh’ yes,

my word, how she did

shake, then gasp

and hiss and spit and

puff, puff, puff …

Sounding like some

frantic, jealous lover

While

steam clouds tracked

above

and slowly trailed away

somewhere

far behind her ..

Oh’ yes, indeed, it did

much like

some off white braided

ribbon might …

Surely he would not

forget

such moments with her

On the way

from Minehead,

along the

good old mineral line ..

Stopping

only briefly, at each of

Watchet, then

Washford and Williton

On her way

to Bishops Lydeard ..

And yes,

then heading back

the self-same way she

always came

and once more home again ….
