"Steam"
I wanna play trains
with a willing lady
Admire her beauty
Couple to her caboose
Stoke her firebox
Hands on the controls
Throttle her engine
Watch as she blows
steam from her whistle
Thrill as she picks up speed
clickity-clack
Enjoy the view, the curves
Relish her momentum
Feel her potential
Listen to her roar
clickity-clack, clickity-clack
Pressure valves open
Energy releases
'Pusshh-shuuhh'
Slow, slower
c l i c k i t y - c l a c k
Any willing lady wanna play trains
'All aboard'

Now it dawns why it used to be a dream of many boys to become train drivers (in the days of steam)!LOL.

Solomon, thank you for sharing a laugh and a truism. :)
My paternal grandfather was an engineer for the C&O Railway.
He was quite the steam driver, I mean engineer in his day. :)
Most of the word associations in this piece were derived many years ago from speaking with him.

Excellent train/mechanical metaphors. One of the best recent ones I've read. Keep it up! ^.^
