“A railroad station? That was sort of a primitive airport, only you didn’t have to take a cab 20 miles out of town to reach it.” Russell Baker

En route by Train 

Public transit, oh what joy!
But, before you shout ahoy
Read this story of ploy…

Early morning in January
I was really in a hurry
The venue was set in the city
And feeling a little giddy
After all travelling by train
Was not something to do in vain
Especially in the middle of winter
With temperatures below zero
And myself certainly no sprinter
And even less of a hero

Reaching the train station
After half jogging the way
Then I heard the notification
The train had been delayed
No indication as to arrival time
But they told us, all was fine
Just a minor snafu
The train would be there in a few

A few minutes went by
On the platform standing by
Then after a while
Waiting for the train to arrive
I was wishing I had taken the car
I would have been so very far

Oh what fun and joy!
Toes, fingers and nose freezing
The snow storm’s intensity increasing
Now I know, this was a winter’s ploy!

“Easter. The only time it’s okay to put all of your eggs in one basket!” Author Unknown

Easter Time (Daily Photo)

After all the painted eggs and faces
The little witch nervously paces
Out into the wide world
She needs to fly like a bird

Because
For now
Easter time
Is over

“Only the best is good enough” Ole Kirk Christiansen

Real Life Legoland

Fresh from the stock
Built out of blocks
Blocks into flats
In a swing of a bat

A real life Legoland
Was it a coincidence?
A fun experiment?
Or just as planned?

“Yesterday and tomorrow cross and mix on the skyline. The two are lost in a purple haze. One forgets, one waits.” Carl Sandburg

Daily Photo: Sky’s Lines

White lines drawn onto the bluest of skies
Let your mind wander and fantasize
What wonders they might symbolize
Or are they just mundane objects glamourized

“Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into the sun” Pablo Picasso

Bright Yellow: Two

Green and yellow
Shouting out a hello
Juicy like a jello

The flower of spring
Joyously it will sing
And the colours forth bring

Bright Yellow: One

Shiny bright and yellow
Looking cool and mellow
Smelling of a marshmallow
