Ode To Amtrak

I took my first Amtrak train ride this summer with my family — this is a poem about it…Ode To Amtrak.

Rumble rumble, click clack,
The train comes to a stop.
“All aboard!” The conductor says,
So on the train we hop.

We are seated on the top row,
The view is lovely and grand,
My first time on a train- oh wow!
Then my mom takes my hand.

We switch trains in Chicago,
Then find our sleeper car.
We get up at 4:30 am,
An exciting night by far.

When switching trains in Pittsburgh,
We sit in business class.
We go around the Horseshoe Curve,
The train steady and fast.

We pull into our final stop,
I had fun, quite a pity.
But now I know I’ll have more fun,
Finally! New York City!

Rumble rumble, click clack,
The train pulls away.
I leave the station and find a cab,
Today’s been a long day.
