A Brief look at the year
What a year it has been on the MPLR!
Hardly a visitor from near or from far
It started in January with the snow oh so deep
The trains couldn’t run but just slowly creep!
Then came the spring when the sun hardly shone
When everything looked all dismal and wan
So we picked up a brush to paint everything white
And didn’t it look, so lovely and bright!
The darling buds of May were brutally slain
By the big drops of rain, rain and more rain
Till the birds in their nests were all of a quiver
At thoughts of the Ark sailing down the river!
Now we’re in June and the Pits full of water
So were cancelled the Open Day because we thought we oughta!
Then soon the excitement of a discovery made
Of a church in a bush near a hedge being laid!
The summer came and went but it still wasn’t right
And Mr F C gave us all such a fright
An air of deep gloom came over the staff
It made it quite hard to have a good laugh!
But now that’s all past and it’s the end of the year,
Was it a good one? Is that what I hear?
Hamish and Terry, and Albert driver of the Railbus
All say for the MPLR it was a Annus Horribilis!!
