CHESSIE IS ALL RIGHT BY ME!

A train calendar for me,

I went to the bookstore to see…

Though desire goaded

I felt railroaded,

By the one black and white I could see.

–

Then the mail brought a HISTORIC RAIL** flyer,

And on the back page…angel’s lyre…

I found a nice

Calendar suitably priced,

With a CHESSIE twenty-thirteen, I will retire!
