oh it was! and the conductor sounded the whistle as well. I think he probably saw our gear all around and freaked out. that's a hell of a way to wake up!

I commuted by train when I lived in Germany and really miss it! I wish we would get our heads out of our collective asses here and make rail a national reality. I would LOVE to do the trans Canada train, the Orient Express!!! would be incredible!!! the train rides above are all tourist rides, they aren't go from point a to point b as part of travel. most of them assume you are taking a round trip ride. but still just incredible scenery!

Ohh, I wish I had a holiday... I'd really want to make a long train ride again! But this time to Hungary.

The wishful thinking, of which they see a different day that be,
arises from the well of sleep. The track does creep along the winding way
to that of which they say is where that they would choose to be.
A drifting unwinding, over the rails of which they are gliding,
transports the thoughts away from the rushing, racing place of which was left behind.

Footsteps are heard without a word. Then an explode, of gentle voice upon the calm and cloudy, to awake.

"Willoughbeeey, next stop Willoughbeeey."

The train has stopped upon a station. This not of imagination, but of place and time as you will find.

"Willoughbeeey, we are now at Willoughbeeey."

The wishful wanderlings in awe do see a place of which they long to be.
Without hesitation the chicken flies first, with an excited burst, from the train.
Others do see such a bright happy glee and follow with an exuberant step.
The gray dog jumps with a dynamic leap.. from the rails to that place, wishfully happy and sweet.
The rest do seem as if in a stream. The flow, of which seeps from the car, is like a shooting star.
The type of which wishes are granted from, like a silver flame in song.

"Willoughbeeey, last stop Willoughbeeey!!"

Willoughby, of Sunlight and serenity be. What is it here that you do see?

Javed - you're a poet too?

This is wonderful - the arrival of MR members at Willoughby!!
I'm going to print it out on card stock and hang it in my office by my desk!
You're one talented blue genii!

I hope I get to leave early today.

vivaldirules · 07-07-2010, 05:00 PM

I hope you do, too, ht. And I hope to get to leave (but might not).

happy_terd · 07-07-2010, 05:01 PM

Stupid meeting got moved to 215 pm. BAH, 15 more minutes to wait.

vivaldirules · 07-08-2010, 07:16 AM

I hope it's over, ht. And I hope an enormous meteor strikes my vehicle before I get to work this morning. It'd be welcome, right now.

With this heat wave, it's more realistic to wish for your car to melt before you leave for work!

Then that bastard Al Gore would be right.

Give me the meteor.

Okay, please forgive me for wishing unhealthy wishes. So, let me see......I wish I had a big box of donuts in front of me right now. Okay, even just one or two. And some for all my friends, too.

Any day is a good day to leave work early!

Unless the wife is on the warpath!

There is no one whodon't want peace and happiness in his family, and now I wish I could have a good sleep In the premise of I have enough time.

happy_terd · 07-09-2010, 09:07 AM

I wish we all could just get along.

happy_terd · 07-12-2010, 04:19 PM

I hope everyone is feeling "kick ass" good today.

I dont really know what that is suppose to mean, but it has to be better than just being "ok," right?
