Shut The Line Again

There was a bus in the village pretending to be a train

they're doing something somewhere and have shut the line again!

A bus with delusions of grandeur 

to a train is no match

well at least it's better than nothing and it's something we can catch - that said I could easily have caught the flu

something I would rather not do!

"Rail replacement" this bus was called

if it's there tomorrow they'll be appalled 

the men in suits will have a committee formed

and feet upon the fire warmed 

of those who this the trouble caused

the total equalibrium paused 

I'm not sure if they have even tried

to find why such action was applied

it'll be like on the highways with all those cones

with a number to call which no-body phones

but they'll mutter and moan and never claim 

"BOLLARDS!" -  that's their proper name!

And then upon a post I saw

next to the deserted station - and covering the floor

posters explaining the reasons why

they'd need two weeks for a solution to apply

"track through the tunnel is life expired"

so track replacement work required 

that will shut those suits up tight

work to get them home safe at night

to make sure nothing comes off those rails...

at least it'll be nice and quiet - but with no ticket sales!
