Poems - The 3:09 (lyrics)

The 3:09 (lyrics)

by Huberjack

The 3:09 is moving fine,
its freight is in a hurry,
through Kansas plains and Texas rains-
its owners needn't worry.

The Santa Fe arrives today
in Austin's cargo stations,
its engineer, his whole career,
has met his obligations.

I miss my love, I've brought her sweets and wine;
I promised I'd be on the 3:09.

Though now renowned, last summer found
the thunderheads surrounded,
tornado tracks did not relax,
and lightning storms abounded.

The spotless state, his on-time slate,
has suffered imperfection,
the train preserved, he had deserved
his riders' keen affection.

I miss my love, I've brought her sweets and wine;
I promised I'd be on the 3:09.
I promised I'd be on the 3:09.
I promised I'd be on the 3:09.

Very rhythmic...the last lines gave me the sensation of wheels on the tracks. Good job, however, I don't see the photo. Joan
