The Ghost Train.

The Ghost Train.

A Poem by Paul Bell

You’ve got to get in from the start

Girl, love, mortgage, house

The trip has begun

Seat belt on

Forget the plan

The roller coaster will take you up

But not for long

Life's like that

Tells you in the song

Ok, we’re heading down

Is that a frown

Look around

Girl's gone

Love

Off with Joe

House

You don’t want to know

No mortgage though

Now, was that a thrill

All the fun of the fair

What, bitter pill

She isn't there

That’s the roller coaster

High and low

No one knows

New woman

Don’t try to explain

Seat belt on

Let me introduce the ghost train.

oh man! "Let me introduce the ghost train" ...somehow i don't think that's an invitation with a whole lot of hope ;{
i felt myself bouncing from one jag to the next and up and down as the coaster rolled on...life indeed sir ...can not help but feel for the man in the picture ...but maybe he should give riding a res for a bit longer ... get a more positive disposition for the "rest of the story" ;)

love that closing line .. packs a punch!
