GOING IN TRAINS.
love playing games and I love going
walke
In sunshine or even in rain, But oh can you guess what is nicest
of all !
I think it's to go in a train.
I love all the noise and the bustle and
rush And how I do like to go fast,
I sit by the window and watch all the
trees
And the houses go flashing past.
And when at a station we have to get
out
The porters are alwaya so kind. For often our boxes are heavy I'm
sure,
But smehow they don't seem to
mind.
My sister likes always to ride on a
bus,
Whilet my brother likes aeroplane, I like a crowd on a platform and
station
And engines and long wriggling trains!:

They Satisfy
