Three Stops

Chug-screech
The carriages roll in
Metal on metal

- First stop- birth,
Years of fun and pain,
Jump aboard it is a great ride.
Get plenty of refreshments,
A long distance to the next stop,
There will be no buffet service today.
'This is the train manager speaking,
this train will shortly pull into love,
be careful getting off the train

- the platform is very slippery. '
Some fall at the first hurdle;
Injuries are many,
Emergency services are waiting

- to bandage the wounds.
The whistle blows, the door slams shut,
Still many on the train

- to the last destination.
Many have been there before,
But none knew what to expect.
Oh well, close your eyes

- and wait for the call.
