GOING IN TRAINS.

love playing games and I love going

In sunshine or even in rain, But oh can you guess what is nicest

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

The porters are alwaya so kind. For often our boxes are heavy I'm

sure,

But smehow they don't seem to

Whilet my brother likes aeroplane, I like a crowd on a platform and
