“Stand clear the closing doors please.”

The operator says

There sits an old man,

Reading the newspaper

Boy, was it cold!

Waiting patiently,

He turns the next page

 

“This is West 4 next stop, 14 street.” 

“Ladies and gentlemen: we’ve been delayed momentarily by the train dispatcher. Thank you for your patience”

Then a young man rushes into the train,

Like the speed of light!

 

Smack!

 

Right across the old man’s face

“Stand clear the closing doors please.”

Young man was out,

Before the old man could yell… 

“Hey!”
