A year's photos in rhyme

[eastwestdivide]

January brings the snow,

Through Haddon Tunnel you can't go.

 

 

February brings the rain,

They've put our bridge back up again.

 

 

March brings breezes, warm it ain't, 

Strange old trains in shiny paint.

 

 

April brings the sweet spring showers, 

Pacer by the cooling towers.

 

 

May brings flocks of pretty lambs,

This train is one of Amsterdam's.

 

 

June brings tulip, lily, rose,

A coal train 'cross the Tyne it goes.

 

 

In July the sun is hot,

Here in Austria, no it's not.

 

 

August brings the sheaves of corn,

Don't forget to sound your horn.

 

 

Warm September brings the fruit,

I'm on the Rhine for a photo shoot.

 

 

Then October brings a gale, 

What's that thing beside the rail?

 

 

Dull November brings a blast,

Scottish loco rolling past.

 

 

Chill December rain I curse,

Touch of steam though, could be worse.
