The named railway carriages
Cherry and Cream
Chocolate and Cream
Cream and Dream
Were stationary beneath my box
For some reason I was very happy
Zoology was sitting in the corner
On a high wooden stool
Reading a book of Somerset Folk Songs
I gave the driver the all clear
To proceed out of the loop
He waved in a cheery manner
And I blew a mock kiss in return
I had been reading the station copy
Of The Tempest to pass the hours
Miranda asked if I would like a cup of tea
I accepted her kind offer
Would I like a Chocolate Cake
Cherries and Cream
Hidden together in a Dream
