266. Railroad: Write about a train and its cargo or passengers.
A child, brought along for the birthday party.
A child, asked to look up and what did she see?
A child, protected and small
A child, seeing a train most tall
A man, older and older is he
A man, asked what he wanted his birthday to be
A man, who loves the old steam trains,
A man, to ride one would be fain
A family, along the track they go
A family, with joy and love in tow
A family, celebrating the oldest one
A family, with a trip he counts fun
