MIND THE GAP, MIND THE GAP

 

Mind the gap, mind the gap

Is not an announcement about safety

But is pointing out the difference

Between the timetable and reality

THE WHITE HORIZONTAL PLUME

 

The white horizontal plume

Streams in its wake

Like a long grey ribbon

As the locomotive powers on

A truly romantic image

Of the great age of steam

LOST PROPERTY

 

I left two bottles of Whisky

On the train to Prestatyn

I thought them gone for ever

Until a nice man called Glynn

Of the lost property office

Telephoned me from Prestatyn

To say the man who found them

Had just been handed in
