FOR THE CHILDREN...

TRAIN TO TOOKY-DOO

Rattle, Rattle, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
***
Let's drive the train to Tookey-Doo,
I'll open it up and see what it can do!
***
Rattle, Rattle, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
***
Now we're rolling up to five miles per.
Just enough to feel the engine purr!
***
Rattle, Rattle, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
***
Up to ten, gotta lot of coal in the bin,
The fireman shovels away with a grin!
***
Rattle, Rattle, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
***
Now we are rolling up to past twenty,
And we still have a head of steam aplenty!
***
Rattle, Rattle, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
***
Push the levers and pull the throttle,
Take a drink from the water bottle!
***
Rattle, Rattle, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
***
Oh! Wow!...We're up to thirty-five,
Don,t it make you just feel alive!
***
Rattle, Rattle, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
***
Pull the whistle! Crossing ahead!
We're hitting forty-five , by Ned!
***
Rattle, Rattle, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
***
Now we're rolling along at near fifty.
This is so wind-in-the- hair nifty!
***
Rattle, Rattle, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
***
I love driving the train to Tookey-Doo,
'Cause it don't go to Timbuktoo!

What a great little ditty!

ps
BatGirl arrived home none the worse for wear but there were strange black fur about her face that Mac couldn't account for...I fear he may be out looking for a Strutz cat as we speak...
