BIG KIDS’ PLAY

A re-engine Baldwin’s a “BEEP,”

And this is a one-trucked GEEP…

Inventive play

May even pay,

The price of these aren’t too steep!

–

It probably is O scale,

I think I’ve seen them on sale…

Familiar but not

Prototypical, yet

A whimsical engine they’ve nailed!

–

Don’t think this poet is stuck,

Some switch engines DO USE ONE TRUCK…

One recently

Used on off an “S.D”*

Getting two engines on a six-wheeled truck!

–

–Jonathan Caswell

Several manufacturers make these…!  *An “S.D.”, which stands for Special Duty,

is a heavy-pulling diesel engine with six wheels in each truck

E..R.FANCIFUL

E.R. FANCIFUL

(Sing to: “Animal Crackers in My Soup”)

Vitals monitor Calliopes,

Winking lights on most of these…

Figures come and figures go

Avoiding trips in the hallway flow.

–

Mini Zamboni clean the floor,

Curtains shield every glass door…

Nurses in the center command

Video screens for the tasks at hand!

–

Even for patients quickly served,

Proper decorum observed,

Tests take time to conquer pain…

Otherwise treatment’s down the drain.

–Jonathan Caswell

FAST FOOD FANCIES

FAST FOOD FANCIES*

Can you believe those guys

Brought back “chicken fries”…

Pepper on a stick,

They eat them up quick,

“For a limited time” realized!

–

Healthier french fries at last,

For a limited time, a repast…

By the time we ordered

They’d fled for the border,

No wonder these joints are type-cast.

–Jonathan Caswell

* To be honest…I LIKE some of their stuff…when it stays around long enough!  🙂
