Burma Shave for the Rail

[sky12065]

HEY! None of us are going to be receiving awards anytime soon for our literary skills.

No awards? :huh: I thought I was going to get the Nobel prize for advertising!

Then I resign!

The only award here

Is a good cup of soup.

But the soup **** sez...

"NO SOUP FOR YOU!"

Burma Shave

I don't want soup

I want CHOWDA!

But I'll wait for October

And maybe some LOBSTA!

Burma Shave

So you want some CHOWDA

And later some LOBSTA

And you'll turn away from soup!

But'bout soup you're a pain

And you'll constantly complain

My gosh man, how far will you stoop?

[Long Train Runnin']

okay spent a long time on this one and I think its ready

Wow that Train is fast

Nothing like from the past

Runs Boston to Washington in a flash

Only on the Acela.

Meter was a little off but I'm trying

With the pending possible demise of the Sunset ...

Once it ran

from shore to shore

but the Sunset Limited

rolls no more

With so much stimulus

How could it be

That the Sunset Limited

Will cease to be?

Dredging this thread

To add some more

And remind everybody

Of Gathering IV

A man who drives

when he is drunk

should haul his coffin

in his trunk.

To give you answers

About your trip

[AAARGH!]

New members like Emmy

Make it interesting

Even if they think

they are pestering!

Meet me in St Louis

For Gathering IV!

If you can't make it

Don't worry, there'll be more!

[Bob Dylan]

If you get poor service,

Don't hesitate to let her rip!

But if you get great service,

Remember to smile and tip!

To reach 6,900 posts

Is such a great thrill!

Now I just hope Congress lets Amtrak

Make it over the next hill!

Burma Shave!

 

[the_traveler]

6969 posts is about 2.5 times my zip

That much is true

However even combined it won't match

The mileage of my average zip thru

Burma Shave

 

[the_traveler]

Getting 7,000 posts

Is really great!

My next trick will be

To ride trains in every state!

Actually Cheney's from Nebraska having at least gone through elementary school in Lincoln before relocating to Wyoming.

I'm going to wait until they start the new route from MSP to SLC (via SD and WY), build the bridge to HI and the tunnel to AK (to stay away from those Canucks)!

(The photos in the tunnel may be dark!
