Temporary Signal Failure

Train spotter nearly side-tracked into getting a life!
Pic: of Sydenham Hill Station, my own

As in everyday,
at our awesome vantage point
spotting Class 458 Juniper* electrics,

pencilling in numbers, it dawned on me,
factory girls streaming by
mornings, evenings, weekdays,
were lovely creatures,
especially one, lately adored
“Julia Francesco Appecello”…. ♥

…..but, after seventeen days
on an emotional roller-coaster,
suffering her mood swings, threats,
tantrums, signing consentials…strewth
I’d had enough!

Back in prime position on the viaduct,
too right…damned if love’s
gonna ruin my life!

*soon to be replaced by Class 701 Aventras

♥ loved her name more than I loved her…
