marnanel | Stations

(with apologies to A. A. Milne)

I'm often lost in ruminations
On what I'd do if stuck at stations.

If I were stuck at HARINGEY,
I'd pitch a tent and ask to stay.

If I were stuck at STEVENAGE,
I'd build a campfire, on the bridge.

If I were stuck at FINSBURY PARK,
I'd dance around it, in the dark.

If I were stuck at MORROWGATE, (*)
I'd phone and tell you I'd be late.

If I were stuck at HATFIELD HERTS,
I'd win my fare by playing darts.

If I were stuck at POTTERS BAR,
I'd wish upon the northern star.

If I were stuck at... anywhere,
I'd really rather you were there.

(*) The original has "Norroway", so I feel this sort of thing is quite justified.
