AT LAST I'VE SEEN THE LIGHT!

By Annonymous

We shall not run, nor even walk fast -

We've seen all the engines they've cut in the past -

The day has arrived, it's almost too late

Tomorrow you may forget the guy that was once your mate.

We'll slow down at once, we won't run for a switch -

Or the Company will find, you too they can ditch -

We'll shove every car, and test all the brakes -

And slow down much more when we see pretty snow flakes -

We'll value our limbs, avoid all gambles

We won't foul any switches, and if the lamp disappears -

We'll put on the brakes, and stall all the gears -

If the targets are out, we'll walk down and check -

Because days out of service are a pain in the neck -

We'll tie up the job when our mate has to go for a shit -

We won't take the engine if the bell doesn't ring -

We'll call the maintainer to fix everything -

If I've got no job tomorrow, and tomorrow is soon -

There'll be only one man to blame -

it's me, that's whom.
