A train ride

I'm going on a journey
I feel like a child again
all excited and happy
at riding the express train

The thrill of hearing clickety-clack
and the occasional thump
of many wheels on the railway track
going over occasional bumps

The express train

The fun of rocking side to side,
the train at times will roll,
beautiful sceneries outside
through the window I behold

I feel a strange excitement
seated aboard the train
It brings such pleasant moments
I'd take the train again.
