Seriouslydave-

"a stopped train is hard to get moving,

and a speeding train is harder to stop.

stay out of the way when the tracks are oiled,

or there will be an awfully huge train pile up."

SheaRyhai-

"The fast track is a means to disaster,

no track of life ever runs that smooth.

And those that accomplish most things faster,

have never had to struggle for something to prove."

Seriouslydave-

"....But then again, why on earth should I struggle?

I think I deserve all those good things in life.

But If I truly must wait for a slow train of fate,

can't I do it without any strife?"

SheaRyhai-

"...of all the moments I found the most pleasure,

those were the times when the tracks flew to fast.

So on the slow tracks of fate look for treasure,

so all the good moments won't lie in the past."

Seriouslydave-

"I think you may be right,

and this gives me a little fright,

since my age is Quite nearly fifty.

I have never accomplished much

of anything in my life,

and I'm no longer as bright or as shifty.

so let's make this train go faster,

Lets get it into a groove,

although my future could spell disaster,

It's time to make my move."

SheaRyhai-

"All tracks lead to the same end,

and you can not out run this fate.

Be you fifty or only twenty

only at the end is it to late."

"Why rush to disaster for yourself?

You could go slower and help someone else."

Seriouslydave-

"So I step on the throttle,

and I push down the lever,

faster and faster I go."

"Once again on my way to disaster,

this is the only fate that I know."

SheaRyhai-

"So determined you will surely fail,

perhaps you should squeeze the breaks.

Take a moment to find yourself,

pressure only cracks thin slate."

"Stand your ground and find your center,

not in those who gaze at you.

Take this moment to remember,

its your life so you must choose."

Seriouslydave-

Foouuuuuut! Foouuuuuut! Sounds my horn,

"GET OUT OF MY WAY!"

Foouuuuuut! sounds my horn again.

"All of my life-

I have followed your tracks,

I have never gone astray."

Foouuuuuuuuut!

Sounds my horn,

"IT'S TIME TO GET OUT OF MY WAY"

SheaRyhai-

"Can't help those, who do not help themselves,.

so if you must rush to the end.

I wish you good luck and good health,

and think of you always as my friend.

Is success worth putting your life at stake?

The dream you wish becomes the nightmare you make."

~~CRRRASH!~~

Seriouslydave-

"Sometimes you must listen to others,

though it isn't always what you would do.

because of your own aspirations,

your life may become askew."

"There is wisdom in the advice of many,

be careful when it is only a few."

"And you really know that your in trouble

 when your only adviser is you."

"Oh... and by the way,

I am so very sorry to say."

 "there was an awfully huge train pile up today."

SheaRyhai-

"One last time I plead this warning,

knowing already it might be to late.

Yes- I understand that yearning,"

"Truth is- I raced forward to meet my fate."

"But all these words that I have said,

You couldn’t hear cause I’m already dead."

...and now this makes two, "me and you!"
