My gods!

\nI love to sit in comfort on a train
\nNot any train, it must be hauled by steam
\nI know that soon I’ll see my gods again
\nReliving that most foolish schoolboy dream<\/p>\n
The dragon’s roar that greets the signal’s rise
\nThe blast of black and then the clouds of white
\nMagnificently pasted in the eyes
\nOf worshippers who’ve seen the transport light<\/p>\n
We know at heart that steam can’t be the way
\nFor business trips or slogging into work
\nBut living steam can crown a special day
\nFor all those folk who share my little quirk<\/p>\n
It warms the globe by several tons a mile
\nBut glorious steam makes this green poet smile!<\/p>\n
