This morning I took a train from Thornton Heath station to London Victoria. Due to me being visually impaired, a member of station staff assisted me to board the train. However, before he could disembark, off went the locomotive with the railway company employee on board, and none to happy at having been conveyed, without his consent from Thornton Heath to the next station stop, Norbury!
—
A man
With a plan
To help me board a train.
Oh what a pain
For the doors closed
And there arose
From his lips a bad word,
The kind heard
On the docks.
The commuters where shocked
And the man from the station
Reached a destination
Not wished for.
No wonder he swore!
Hahaha! A great poem, Kevin. Also – I fully believe that you took that poor chap as your prisoner on purpose.
You read me like a book Lucy! Indeed, my trusty guide dog and I held the unfortunate man hostage as a little light entertainment …! Kevin
I hope it was resolved without any further undue nastiness!
Thanks for your comment Mick. The gentleman alighted at Norbury and did, I guess travel back on the next service to Thornton Heath. I suspect that, in retrospect he will chuckle about the incident. Best. Kevin
I’m sure he will. And possibly feel a hint of embarrassment.
His fate was to inspire you to write another wonderful poem.
Thank you Jayne! I’m really pleased you enjoyed my poem. Kevin
