The Christchurch incident
I thought we’d take a trip to the sea
But it seems it wasn’t meant to be
Our travel had all been going fine
Until there was a bike on the line
We really don’t know how it got there
But it gave the driver quite a scare
It made an almighty thud and thump
As over it the train wheels did bump
And when we saw puffs and plumes of smoke
We knew something had definit’ly broke
Though we did an emergency stop
The bike ended up getting the chop
Bits got caught up in the underneath And thus they were very hard to reach So it was quite a situation But with the rear doors in the station
It wasn’t quite so much of a pain As there we were able to detrain Time was now starting to get quite late But we heard nothing just had to wait
And it was unfortunate for us That there was no available bus Caught out again by an England game Guess that’s why their drivers never came
But taxi drivers obvs didn’t care So they made a mint with many-a-fare Thus we made it back to Brockenhurst That trip to the sea had been our worst!
