The first poem I remember hearing
Was The Train to Timbuktu
("From Timbuktu to Kalamazoo
Is a long way down the track
And from Kalamazoo to Timbuktu
It's just as far to go back"). The second
Was "Storm warnings
Have been posted
From Cape May
To Block Island."
I hear the first still when I borrow
My father's voice to read to a child.
There are storms nowadays but no one,
Can be bothered to warn Cape May
Or Block Island or the points inbetween.
