I spent by childhood living in an house

That was situated between the High Level and Low Level stations

In East Grinstead

It was a blissful childhood as my father was the stationmaster of the High Level Station

And my mother was the stationmaster at the Low Level station

I also had a twice adopted sister who made the scones and looked after the buffets two

When I was thirteen my parents emigrated to New Guinea with my thrice adopted sister

They sold our house which was named Equidistant due to its location between the stations and left me alone

For a while I travelled the world and when I was fourteen I married a branch line in East Kent

I now live in the main bus station in Stoke-on-Trent where I am employed as an interior designer

 

Watching Trains

My East Grinstead years were often illuminated by the visits of my beautiful cousin

Who although she looked like a rabbit was the image of my thrice adopted sister

We were both very keen on train spotting and shared our shifts

Between the High Level and Low Level stations although the hours were long

On Sundays there were no trains so we both went to the local places of worship

Where we counted both the High Church and Low Church hymn books

My cousin is now the Japanese Prime Minister
