Jeff Burkhart’s ‘Rhyme and Reason’: A Rolling Romance

March 12, 2014 by Jeff Burkhart Leave a Comment

FLYING IN AN AIRPLANE
Can cause people to complain
No worries mate go buy yourself
A ticket on a train
Looking out the window
You can watch the world go by
Remembering the olden days
Of flags and apple pie
Ride the rails on business trips
Or take the train for kicks
Relaxing in a Pullman car
Can teach old dogs new tricks
When you’re getting hungry
Or if you just need a drink
Then go down to the club car
It will give you time to think
You might meet a soul-mate
Let it happen don’t be vexed
Plunge into a tunnel
Wait and see what happens next
