It’s been a long while since I viewed
Anything on You Tube…
Went there tonight
A positive delight,
It remembered my preferences viewed!

On “Timsvideochannel1”
On the driver’s side filming was done…
Filming seemed a breeze
On the MERDDIN EMRYS,
The camera looked firmly hung!
–
The last train to Porthmadog,
Which turned out quite a log jog…
Narrow gauge rails
Running through Wales,
Even a chasing white dog!
–
Walls sprung on one or both sides
Of the narrow strip where the train rides…
Many private crossing paths,
The more frequent used have
A whistle post warning trains fly!
–
Sidings both old and well-used,
Giving riders good views…
Of the slate-hauling days
And narrow byways,
That the train softly chuffs through.

EVENING SOLITUDE
–
Took a break with James Taylor for a guide,
Found him on You Tube, took his album for a ride…
Ate my supper in the quietness
Quiet time with James is probably the best.
No one came through–they all seemed to hide…
Thoughtful of them, letting me quietly ride.

ONE VERSION AFTER ANOTHER
–
Ya gotta love You Tube clips
Apt to take sudden slips….
Beneaar to Blondie,
Whitefield to Ghandi,
However they pile the chips.
–
Sometimes it’s like a full moon,
They’ll play three times the same tune…
All different hair styles
If she’s been here a while.Writing her music in runes.
–
Trains often are hijacked
To something with less impact…
I want trains not cars,
Rough railroad track not stars,
I wish they’d straighten their act!
–Jonathan Caswell
FUR-BRAINED FELINES
You Tube compilations
Of cat concentrations…
Mirrors and jumps
And into bath dumps,
Expose tintinnabulations!
–Jonathan Caswell
EXTREME MONSOONS
Was it coincidence,
Aligning of events…
Watched THE MONSOON RAILWAY*
During heavy rain today,
The rain outside was immense!
–Jonathan Caswell
* Extreme Railways series episode…on You Tube.
VICARIOUS RUNNING
Visiting trains at You Tube,
I often find something new…
Finances precariously,
I run trains vicariously
The track ahead custom-viewed.
–
Amazing the trains I find
When the search is properly lined…
Miniature, real,
All kinds are revealed,
With sound so my interest’s entwined!
