Subsidence on the railway line <br />No trains will run today <br />Spread the news to office workers <br />They must find another way... <br />Sorry, it's just reality! <br /> <br />Work will take one hundred men <br />A thousand hours it seems <br />The cost will be phenomenal <br />No, this is not a childhood dream <br />This is stark reality. <br /> <br />Forty days and forty nights <br />Banging, clanging, boom-boom-boom <br />But after all is said and done <br />Passenger travel will resume <br />And this is not imaginary.<br /><br />Joyce Hemsley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/landslides-happen-now-and-again/
