"THE GHOST TRAIN"

         

WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE GHOST TRAIN MOST KIDS REQUEST TO GO ON.

I USED TO HEAR MINE WITTER OH!  PLEASE MUM WALKING THE PROM.

 

NO YOU WON'T LIKE THAT RIDE AT  ALL IT'S DARK AND SCARY IN THERE.

 

BUT YET THEY STILL INSISTED AND PESTERED ME ESPECIALLY THE ELDEST PAIR.

 

COME ON THEN IF YOUR GOING TO INSIST THEN  WE WOULD CLIMB UP ON THE STAND.

 

WAIT IN THE QUEUE AND PAY FOR OUR TICKETS AS I HELD THERE TINY HAND.

 

OUT OF THE DARK TUNNEL CAME THE RUMBLE OF THE WHEELS ON THE CAR FOR US.

 

EAGERLY THEY WOULD JUMP INSIDE AND SIT  READY  WITHOUT ANY FUSS.

 

THE TRAIN WOULD FILL UP WITH CHILDREN AND MUMS ALL EXCITED THEN  WE WERE OFF.

 

AS THEY CLUTCHED THERE BAGS OF CRISPS OR SWEETS WHICH THEY HAD BOUGHT TO SCOFF.

 

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE ROUND THE TRACK THE CAR  WOULD SWAY.

 

WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN SHRIEKS AND SCREAMS AND UNDER MY BREATH I WOULD SAY.

 

OH DEAR I DON'T THINK THEY'LL LIKE THIS AT ALL GROTESQUE THINGS FILL THE AIR.

 

SPOOKS AND ALSORTS DANGLING DOWN LARGE SPIDERS ON WEBS EVERYWHERE .

 

HELP THERES A HORRIBLE SKELETONS HAND ON MY HEAD GET IT OFF THE KIDS  SHOUT.

 

SCREAMING  AND CARRYING ON AND ANOTHER CHILD CRYING I WANT TO GET OUT.

 

I WOULD BE LAUGHING AND THINKING YOU'LL LISTEN TO ADVISE FROM MUM.

 

I TOLD YOU THAT YOU WOULDN'T LIKE IT AND THAT THIS RIDE IT WASN'T  MUCH FUN.

 

THEN A VERY LARGE COBWEB WOULD FALL DOWN  AND LOOSLY DRAPE  YOUR FACE.

 

MORE SCREAMS AND CRYING AS ROUND THE CORNER MORE GORE LIT UP IN SHOWCASE.

 

CREAKING SECRET DOORS WOULD OPEN  GORY  FACES ALL COVERED IN BLOOD.

 

MAKING THE KIDS SCREAM LOUDER GHOULS CLENCHING A STAKE MADE OF WOOD.

 

WHOOOOO'S AND HOWLS AND EIRIE NOISES ECHOING  OUT FROM ALL SIDES .

 

MY TWO BOYS CLINGING ONTO  ME TIGHTLY CRYING  I DON'T LIKE THIS  HORRIBLE RIDE. HE-HE.

 

WHEN IS IT GOING TO STOP MUM I WANT TO GET OFF CAN YOU HEAR.

 

YES I CAN HEAR YOU  BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT AND  BOTH OF THEM FROZEN WITH FEAR.

 

THEN A COFFIN DROPS DOWN WITH A CORPSE SUSPENDED AND EVEN SCARES ME TO DEATH.

 

NEVER MIND THE CHILDREN I WAS FRIGHTENED  IT ALMOST TOOK MY LAST BREATH.   HE-HE.

 

BOO- HOO!! BOO- HOO!!!  IS ALL I CAN HEAR NOW FROM EVERY CAR ON THE TRACK.

 

CHILDRENS VOICES HOLLOWING OUT HELP MUM I WANT TO GO BACK .

 

SO WHAT IS IT ABOUT THE GHOST TRAIN THAT WHEN SMALL CHILDREN THEY DO SEE.

 

INSISTING THEY WANT TO TAKE A RIDE  IT'S GOT TO BE CURIOSITY.

 

AFTER TWO MINUTES ON THE RIDE LIGHT APPEARS AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL AND TRACK .

 

THROUGH TWO CLANGING HEAVY RUBBER DOORS THE KIDS ARE SO HAPPY THERE BACK .

 

THERES MORE CRYING EYES THAN RAINDROPS FROM HEAVEN DRIPPING ON THIS GHOST TRAIN.

 

THE JOURNEY HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE BUT NOT A JOURNEY IN VAIN.

 

NOW THEN DO YOU BELIEVE YOUR MUM I WOULD SAY TO THEM AS WE'D  DEPART.

 

I WILL NEXT TIME MY CHILDREN WOULD SAY I PROMISE AND CROSS MY HEART.. HE-HE.

 

SO WE HAVE TO BE CRUEL TO BE KIND ON OCCASIONS  HAV'NT WE FRIENDS SOMETIME.

 

HAS THIS JOGGED YOUR MEMORY OF YOUR  GHOST TRAIN RIDE HERE IN " MY SIMPLE RHYME "
