Wreck

The trains traverse the track
all day long and through the night
click-clack click-clack click-clack

they're heading to the coast or back
with freight to expedite
the trains traverse the track

and belch their breath of black
as though a dragon might
click-clack click-clack click-clack

you can't mistake the smack
of steel so clear and bright
as trains traverse the track

the engineers won't slack
their schedules too tight
click-clack click-clack click-clack

for humans have a knack
we railroad what is right
the trains traverse the track
click-clack click-clack click-clack.
