Porter Pyper

Silly Peter Pyper picked a Porter,
Then did something he hadn't oughta,
As a silly Halloween's spoof,
He stuck it on the depot's roof,
Thus the consequence of that,
Was a noisy fractious spat,
About Silly Peter Pyper's tricked up Porter.

Algernon.

Just don't tell Don where you heard about it. If he sees these pirated images and my use of the name on a route, well just look out! :bigboss: :rolleyes:

I've heard of 'jumpin' the tracks - but to actually 'springboard' a engine like that Herb....?

Try to snatch the engine from the roof, little grasshopper. (Anyone remember the show Kung Fu?)

I think Herb's engine can only be described as a 'Pogo Relic'. :rotfl:
