Shunt and Shuffle

Same old words, another day while all the time life slips away.
But slips so slowly, stretches moments into slow-burn Passion Play
while barren Madge prepares hot dinner.
Fray Bentos pie: always a winner.

Then home to fire up model trains and shunt and shuffle carriages.
Sweet loco breath upon his brow.
Banish thoughts of clockwork marriages.
While barren Madge prepares hot dinner.
Fray Bentos pie: always a winner.
