All Aboard!

The train it keeps on plodding
Rolling on down the track
The timing may be off
But It’s coming and that’s a fact
Sometimes there’s no warning
And the cargo, well who sent that?
And there’s no choice but to unload it
You can’t refuse, though you wish
It’s life delivered to you
There’s no schedule for this
It shows up, and you’re screwed
But sometimes olds friends jump off
Or some unforeseen bonus
So don’t give up
And the train doesn’t own us

-- Tom Walsh
