Off the rails



Inside St Pancras station 
heard an angry conversation 
a loud platform peroration 
With thoughts above their station 
they created quite a scene 
shouted things that were obscene 
pulled no punches, they were mean 
like a busted vending machine 
Now Eurostar ain’t cheap 
it would make a grown man weep 
RailTrack bosses play for keeps 
don’t know how they bloody sleep 
Due to the consternation 
of that senseless deviation, 
their Paris destination 
was lost, like French in translation 
While they argued heads or tails 
they jumped the points, came off the rails 
Now he’s in the Yorkshire dales 
while she holidays in Wales
