SODOR ANTICS

 

Thomas the tank engine

Pulled out of Paddington again

And the Bear said

I like getting the early train

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 165

 

Robert Barnes, fellow fine,

Can you shoe this horse of mine?

No, good sir, that I can’t,

Why ever not, fellow fine?

Primarily because I’m an estate agent called Mike

But mainly because that’s a push bike

ARE YOU WEARING FALSE NAILS?

Are you wearing false nails?

I’M THINKING ABOUT TAKING A HOLIDAY # 5

 

I’m thinking about taking a holiday

But I don’t know where to go

What if I end up in Capable

I find that that’s often where I go

SOMEWHERE UNPRONOUNCEABLE # 2

 

I went on holiday to somewhere unpronounceable

Who have a novel approach to automation

You are not prohibited to own a motor car

EVERYONE WANTS TO BE THE STAR

 

Everyone wants to be the star

Of their own life story

But life isn’t like a movie

You have to go on cold

You may dry up or miss your cue

Or fluff your lines

You may need prompting

You will probably have to improvise

But it’s up to you how the drama unfolds

And whether you are hero or villain
