“Train Whistle”


This bed is so comfortable.
I sometimes wait to fall asleep though,
Until I hear the train go by.
Its whistle sends me into another place.
Every time I lay in this comfortable bed
And hear that standard train whistle blow
I know it’s the time where I get a free ticket
For a wonderful ride
To somewhere else
Where
I feel nothing but joy.
And then I fall asleep.

When I wake up,
I usually have forgotten about how good the noise made me feel.
But at least I still wake up in a comfortable bed.
