A poem by Punch

Epitaph on a Locomotive

Epitaph on a Locomotive


EPITAPH ON A LOCOMOTIVE. BY THE SOLE SURVIVOR OF A DEPLORABLE ACCIDENT (NO BLAME TO BE ATTACHED TO ANY SERVANTS OF THE COMPANY)

Collisions four
Or five she bore,
The Signals wor in vain;
Grown old and rusted,
Her biler busted,
And smash'd the Excursion Train.

"HER END WAS PIECES."









-THE END-
Punch's poem: Epitaph on a Locomotive
