Just a mild pain in the fingers... - cid - 07-21-2014
I'm Big Barney Zang of the railroad gang,
My partner is Charlie O'Flynn.
And I hold the nails,
For the big steel rails,
And Charlie, he hammers 'em in.
And most of the time,
He does just fine,
But now and again he fails.
Maybe tomorrow I'll hammer 'em in,
And let Charlie hold the nails.
BANG-KLANG, Shel Silverstein

Sort of remembered from one of his LPs
Let me tell you the story of old 49,
The fastest engine on the Santa Fe line.
On the fourteenth of April she made a desp'rate dash
And she got there on time
And she did not crash...

I'm not allowed to drive the train
The whistle I can not blow,
I'm not the one who designates
How far the train shall go…
I'm not allowed to blow off steam
Or even ring the bell… But
Let the damn thing jump the track
And see who catches hell !!
