Locomotion

27 September 1825, the dawn of the railway.

The crowds watched and waited
For history to be made
For on that Day Locomotion
Would change our traveling ways

It Chugged along the track
The first one of its kind
Oh what a sight it must have been
On that day in 1825

As it moved through town and countryside
It filled the air and nostrals
With the distinctive smell of smoke
That lingered in the breeze

The people cheered as it chugged past
On its maiden journey
It traveled all of about twelve miles
But never was it fast

Its body now unused
Sits in pride of place
Upon a pedestool
Where it can be admired everyday

On that day history was made
And we are all so proud
Thanks George Stephenson
You made the history of my town
