107 - Stuck

Erica Dane

Went a little insane

As she sat on the train

That was numbing her brain

On the seat just across

Sat grumpy Bob Bloss

Looking quite cross

What a total loss

In the next carriage

Next to the baggage

I don't mean to disparage

But they were holding a marriage

And up near the driver

There was a skin-diver

Holding a fiver

What a survivor

There was a cat on the roof

Looking somewhat aloof

Providing some proof

That he was waterproof

But here are the sad facts

They're somewhat abstract

Despite being packed

The train's stuck on the tracks

Maybe one day

The train might pull away

But some people say

It's a permanent delay
