This one's for lionelsoni:
Oh Timmy boy, the pike's, the pike's a-callingFrom plywood glen, and plaster mountain sideThe homosote's up, and all the ground cover's drying'Tis you, 'tis you must drive and I must ride.But come ye quick when layout's all aglowOr when the valley's finished and white with snow'Tis layout be lit either in fluorescent or incandescentOh Timmy boy, oh Timmy boy, we need you so.
And if you come, when all the ground cover's dryingAnd vintage motor's dead, as dead can beYou'll come and find the tracks where I am lyingAnd sit and run my Flyer trains for me.
And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above meAnd all my tracks will warm and sweeter beIf you'll not fail to run my FlyerTwo railer though it beI'll simply sleep in peace while you run my trains for me.

Your two rail track will give our hearts a thrill unmatched,

Uh Oh,
Have we created a monster here?
Have we moved from layouts to poetry?
What ever became of Bad Boy, Tim Boy, who we knew and admired for his layout skills.
Tim, I think you better stick with your day job, model railroading, that is.
