Alphabets in poetry (eight)

“An old school kind of a vessel, travelling on the rails no less, a tram they call it!” Gun Roswell


is for the trams of the streets
Using electrical power to feed
Step onboard the old school transport
Into the past you’ll teleport
Travel around the city in style
Going slowly it may take a while
Observe the sights and people
When going home, tales you’ll have a handful

Take a Ride on the Rails 

“Riding in a bus that has clunky wheels and are set on top of some metallic looking rods, guiding the transport to some predefined destination sounds like a lot of fun!“ Gun Roswell 

Take a Ride on the Rails 

The train and the tram, are both set on top of tracks without any kind of scam, their destination never faltering, only slightly halting, but mostly going back and forth when the doors are closed,  around and around never bound, oh yeah, I think they’re called rails, made out of stainless steel or some sort and definitely no sails, but their destination never fails, even if it really is not set, as you know, they go back and forth or around?

Alas, do not worry, simply buy the cheap ticket and hop on at the nearest stop, and if you should happen to miss your intended stop, no problem, just take another round on the tram filled merry go round until the perfect destination is found and get off, or then simply continue the journey all day long, because you can, as the ticket will last for the day at least!

Ride a Tram along the Shopping Street

“In the middle of the small city, it can get quite giddy, not knowing where to go, and just wanting to talk it slow, then ride a tram!“ Gun Roswell

Ride a Tram along the Shopping Street

When travelling, you always want to see everything, at least the important sights, the monuments, bars and restaurants and if there is time, or then you simply make it, shopping for the local produce. But all these activities, are draining at best, even if you try to keep up with the rest, the fatigue sets in, at some point and not even the most strongest of coffees, will be able to keep you on your feet. So, before you want to hit those busy streets again, maybe, have a break and then, try some other mode of transport, rather than torturing those feet now sore. The answer is right there in front of you, as maybe you had made a not of those rails all over the place. Well, you are in luck and those are actually in use by the tram running on them. Do take a hint of my long drawn suggestion and take a ride on the bus on rails or tram without wheels and enjoy a less stress filled trip around the city, checking out all sights you might not otherwise have the time to see. Only, you will never need to leave your seat! How cool is that?

Step, on a Tram, it’s not a scam!

“A slow ride on the rails, on a bench, in a low riding long car, the hum of the electricity crackling, as the driver turns the tram towards the happenings, a joyride, has begun“ Gun Roswell

Step, on a Tram, it’s not a scam!

The long, long awaited adventure, was them waiting
Alas, the now weary travellers, were still, hesitating
To get on board or not to get on board, was the question
And, whether to throw themselves, to the flow, with abandon
As it was, the exploring visitors, already had their plate full

After, some painfully doubtful moments of waiting 
On the platform, with tickets in hand, debating
Whether to skip this, reserved joyride, and go hide
Because the new place they found, was open wide
For exploration, and they were really, pressed with time

But, all of the doubt, was soon cast aside, at the first sight
Of the old school vehicle, with headlights so bright
Rolled coolly down the tracks, stopping, with a loud clank
The cheerfully red painted car, looking it could not travel too far
Alas, there was something irresistible, so why not hop on!

“All aboard!” The conductor loudly ordered, 
“Tickets please!” he then hollered
“Go on, move along,
There is no time to be wasted, for too long,
We are taking off, at the bang of the bong!”

As all of the passengers, started boarding
The best of the seats, some of them hoarding
But there was room enough for all
Small, fat, thin, odd, plain and yes, even tall
And so, the ride finally begun, with all of them in aw
e

Gaping, mouths open, at the passing sights and scenery
And one them even commented quite easily:
“Clearly,
This was the best decision ever made,
Or at least, on this, very day!”

Picking up some wings
Has its wins
But if you want some style
And sail up the Nile
Or just hop on a train
When there is no need to explain

Has its appeals
But getting somewhere far
In only a car
Can be a chore
Changing the score
