THE TIME TABLE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The railroad has a table
Last Line: A highly seasoned jam!
Subject(s): Railroads; Railways; Trains


The railroad has a table
Where many daily meet,
And may you like the viands
It furnishes to eat!

Imprimis, the substantials
For all the motley crew
It hastily commingles,
And jumbles in a stew.

Then, though you paid a dollar,
A quarter or a nickel,
Impartially it serves you
A most tremendous pickle.

And finally, to make you
As quiet as a lamb,
It saccharinely offers
A highly seasoned jam!
