Tippity Tap Poem by Jason Palmer

Tippity Tap



Tap Tap, Click Click

On the train

Leeds To London

Click Click go the mice

Strange Tunes from phones



Is there no time

To kick back

To take time

To enjoy the ride



Worker drones drone on

Click Click

Ring Ring



Work appears to end

Beer & wine from the trolley

Relax time

Work time

Travel time is now

Other times

I kind of had 'the night train' by WH Auden in my head at the time but trains do not make the noises they used to, and you do not get the sense of speed, with all these great suspension systems, but still, the Train had a sound, of it's own.

Yes, I enjoyed the sound effects and rhythm of this one.

Very clever - and it worked well when you read it out. Richard

I was on a train, full of office people, which was odd, as I normally travel at the weekend, this was during the week.
