British Rail Station Master
interviews poet for the job,
and here’s what happened.
What would you know about
this industry sir? ‘Irish I see’!
Sure aren’t I exactly what the
advert toys mint is lookin for.
I can change points (of view)
on one track minds with lines
that would wake the sleepers
and I can derail thoughts and
for those who don’t give two
hoots I can express, between
the junctions, my discontent
and take them into a siding
after being at the buffer bars.
Just give me a platform and
I will show them a ting or 2.
And you, you toffy nosed ****,
what’s with this ‘Irish I see’ ****?
