The Healing Train

The healing Train'

 

It's cold out this morning with snow all around,

My home is warm, but quiet of sound.

 

Then came the chug and then came the choo,

My children wake up to put on a shoe.

 

They run to the choo and they run to the chug,

They watch and they sip from their warm chocolate mug.

 

They watch the train chug and they watch the train choo,

My children are learning what I already knew.

 

They'll grow out of innocents, spill milk and taste mud,

But their hearts will stay young with toy trains in their blood.

Nicely done. I was just now re-reading the article on Perry's layout in CTT.
