Foundations of Paper


If you build a house

With weak foundations

Then in time it will collapse

The same applies to railway stations

I am at present waiting for a red bullet train

To pass by at high speed using the central tracks

From this vantage I can also see a yellow school bus

It is parked next to a yellow confectionery van

The name of this station is Hector

It is a raised station some metres above the ground

When it was first designed paper foundations were suggested

But this idea was soon dropped as paper foundations

Had in the past been proved to be a quite unsuitable material

When considering the requirements of modern day bullet trains
