ride the red train(poem)

'Sam' still 'rides' his horse,

flowers bloom from the rain.

But, where are the 'kiddies',

to ride the red train ?

 

"No matter" says he with a

'click-a-de clack'.

"I'll make my rounds daily

on my 'lonely' track

 

The children will come

another fine day...

for grandpa and grandma

will bring them to play"

 

Oh! The zoo and the Park !

But, you know it's in 'vain'

to say "we've had fun"

and not ride the red train.

 

So, unite young and old;

it's still quite a 'lark'

to ride the red train

round ole Herman's Park.
