Ride on, Sam!
Ride on, Sam!
Oh, what a day we had
On that train
Aren’t we glad?
For Dramamine
We saw Cordele
Veteran’s state Park
Such a thrill
As we embark
Over the lake
Down the aisle
Pictures to take
And compile
Look Cobb
miss it in a blink
don’t sob
see the creek
Quick by Desoto
Listen a whistle
Was that a doe
fast as a missile
Leslie is next
Telephone museum
Think they txt
Museum or mausoleum
As the breaks are applied
In Americus friends arrived
another got a ride
I am gonna DRIVE!
In Plains we pause
For lunch and writing
All with cause
And some planning
Listen a whistle
Here we go
Like a missile
Time to go we know
Chug chug chug
The wheels grind
To tracks snug
But we don’t mind
An awesome time
We had with Sam
His bell will chime
Home we scram
Thank you David
Joe, Ann, Hew,
For pictures vivid
And everyone else too
Words don’t justify
My enjoyment today
Hard as I try
And pray!
What hustle
From all the crew,
Conductor Fussell,
And all of you
On that train
Aren’t we glad?
For Dramamine
We saw Cordele
Veteran’s state Park
Such a thrill
As we embark
Over the lake
Down the aisle
Pictures to take
And compile
Look Cobb
miss it in a blink
don’t sob

Hi Melissa,
Thanks so much for sharing part of your day on the blog! This poem really captures so much of what you obviously enjoyed about the day. I love the way you inserted the pictures. They help take the reader along with the poem (and your experience). I also loved how you mentioned the telephone museum and tied modern communication to it when you mentioned texting. You captured so much of your day right in this one piece. You go girl! I can't wait to hear, or read, what else you write from the day!!!! Write on! BJ
