THERE SHE BLOWS!

In honor of the steam gngine.

                        "THERE SHE BLOWS!"

She chuggs merrily along the line 

very soon everything will be fine

a credit to industry and anything of kind

a fascination to the young and enthuiastic old mind.

A network of  spaghetti like lines that will wake up,

            maintaining cities and towns.

       Let it be known - for industrys sake,

every inch of line gives the power to sustain its people:

   Be it for the business or pleasure they make.

She blows ... she chuggs ... she glides>>>

through tunnels dark and long, over greens

she can be gentle: she can be mean ..

most beautiful sight to be seen!

A 'Spotters' pleasure not unlike watching the Great White Whale Moby Dick!

I was a train spotter in my early years kitty. Used to stand on Roughdiown Bridge with my brother with our log books. Nothing like steam trains. Something so romantic and nostalgic about them. You took me back in time with your wonderful lines, and I am more than thankful for the ride. All good wishes.

Like minds when it comes to trains! They have that certain magic about them eh! Ended my travel by train with the most magnificent view of sunset leaving a glorious feeling of nostalgia deep in my heart. Thanks for your lovely review. Have a great week end!

Thank you for reviewing. Love your photo of you with a horse that is not unlike our Brandy, an Egyptian mare sadly now passed.

If it's not steam it's not a proper train. Is that what they say.
Another great British invention that the rest of the world does better.
Ah well, back to the drawing board.

Steam to me beats all! Thanks for reviewing.

quite nice this is...and being Sicilian and loving pasta, the spaghetti reference to the network of lines really is delicious for me.

Thank you Jacob. Used to literally 'jump on' the train if I was late catching it for High School. Lived in the 'country' parts wher i boarded steam engine train - many moons ago!!!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

that must have been so cool...too bad they aren't still around...everything is too modern now and has so little character.

Good memories though of better days!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes, my friend.
i loved the old days...good memories..of the 50's in the Bronx, and Vermont...and simpler times...

Still inspired by the memory of the setting sun as the train chugged along the line!
