Loco Logic

ABC WEDNESDAY


LOCO LOGIC!

 A workman on the railway was busy on the tracks,

And when it came to safety he was getting rather lax.

Indeed, at last a train arrived and roared in his direction

And he began to realise that he'd lacked circumspection!

Joe took off at his fastest pace, with the train behind, full-speed,

And, for the very shortest time, he was keeping in the lead!

But at last the train caught-up with him, and hit him, knocked him flat,

And everybody watching really thought that that was that!

But no! He regained consciousness and opened up his eyes,

Gazing at workmates standing round in evident surprise.

One spoke to him and said ' You fool! You could have got away!

By running up the embankment you'd have saved the day.'

 And Joe replied 'Upon my soul! What sort of statement's that?

How could I beat it on a hill when I couldn't on the flat?'

MYSTERY MONUMENT

Deep in the forest we found a cave,

The sort for which all mystics crave!

Dark, mysterious, creeper clad!

The sort to make a guru glad!

What could account for this mystique?

*

We discovered it was a freak!

Look a little closer! What a shock!

We found it was a toilet 'block'!

(There is a door! It's out of sight;

Opened wide and to the right!)

Round the back of our hotel

In a sort of dingly-dell!

*

What a disappointment, though!

We thought we were back in the long-ago!
