Waving at trains

To wave at passing trains is a normal thing to do,

for if you waved at a passing bus,

the bus would probably stop for you.

The same would be for a 'private hire',

the bloke would stop ask; "where to squire?"

You wouldn't wave at a passing plane,

unless you'd been on the booze again!

If you waved like that at a passing copper

you'd more than likely come a cropper

he'd scribble notes in his notepad - then lock you up; thinking you were mad.

But to wave at train's a normal thing to do

and if you're lucky they'll wave back at you,

quite who they are I haven't the notion

they looked all blurred cos the train was in motion,

but; it is exciting to see a train

and they do it in movies - it's hard to explain.

The speed and the noise

and it's a friendly thing to do,

to wave back at someone who's waving at you!

So don't be shy and go down to the station

and wave at a train,

it could grip the nation - go on!
