LIMERICK 33

Michael Edwards

 

A blanket clad man from Peru

whose yearning for home grew and grew,

kept searching in vain      

for a suitable train

on the No 4 platform at Crewe.

      Good write and cartoon, my first smile of the day.

      • Michael Edwards

        It's best to smile
        it's far the best way
        to start the day
        its so worthwhile

        A man on the Platform @ Ealing
        Waited in vain for a train to Darjeeling
        The guard on Platform 3
        Sotto voced to me
        If he comes in the CAFF
        We can all have a LAFF
        And serve him with Darjeeling TEA

        Thanks MIKE for limerick & cartoon
        We need cheering up again this
        morning Please check my POEM
        BRIAN the MOURNFUL !

        • Michael Edwards

          There was an old man from Darjeeling
          Who boarded a bus bound for Ealing
          He read on the door
          "Please donโ€™t spit on the floor"
          So he stood up and spat on the ceiling

          Ha ha ... Another cracker Michael

        • Fay Slimm.

          Ha ha ha ha - great stuff.

        • swingline

          Platform 9 3/4 .

          • Michael Edwards

            No - platform 9 3/4 is reserved for the new tilting trains - I believe they call it the Swing line.

          • Augustus

            You crack me up

            • Michael Edwards

              Thanks Augustus - laughter is the best medicine or so they say.
