Ore Run

Pearcemelville

Rhymed
Ore Run
Orecars stretched to the Horizon
Two ores coloured red and grey
Soh in the Forward Engine spotting
Must keep awake Stay alive
The haze the heat thousands of flies

Tom Price to Dampier Port
Return journey could be Para
Just want to dive into Millstream River
or Crystal Pool Cool water
clear you could reach to touch the bottom
keep Alive stay Awake
This train and Soh must rail another day

About this poem
