Revenge Of The Railroad Crossing

Revenge Of The Railroad Crossing tells a story of my encounter with the railroad tracks. It keeps as a reminder of needing to be aware of my surroundings. We can become so caught up in our activities that we lose sight of ourselves at times. Also, it reminds me to remain thankful even in times of struggle.

Revenge Of The Railroad Crossing

Gaily I ran down the gravel road

Dragging my tire behind

Wonderful exercise for and old dude

On a hot summer day

The nasty rails grabbed the tire

Like a death grip so quickly

Stopped my travel

Without a noticed or grunt

My feet kept churning along

Unaware the head and shoulders

Has stopped

And they couldn’t go far alone

Up into the air I went

But not far I declare

With feet still happily churning along

The landing was ruff

Now a smarter man I am

Although less skin have I

On certain parts

That bore the brunt

Keep a good attitude

No complaints

No broken bones

Still have skin

Where it counts.
