A proud, regal, majestic and elegant machine, <br />She's a magnificent sight, this metal powered dream <br />Pulsating over hundreds of miles of railway track, <br />Never once to be found, ever looking back, <br />Onward with a purpose, watch how she races, <br />Visiting destinations, in so many far off places, <br />Pushing on, with such vigorous determination, <br />Giving not one thought, or one moment's hesitation, <br />Dedicated loyal service, she's an engine so supreme, <br />That romantic iron lady, from the golden age of steam. <br /> <br />© Ernestine Northover<br /><br />Ernestine Northover<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/that-iron-lady/
