Stations
(after A. A. Milne, "I often wish I were a King")
I'm often lost in ruminations
On what I'd do if stuck at stations.
If I were stuck at HARRINGAY,
I'd pitch a tent and ask to stay.
If I were stuck at STEVENAGE,
I'd build a campfire, on the bridge.
If I were stuck at FINSBURY PARK,
I'd dance around it, in the dark.
If I were stuck at MORROWGATE, (*)
I'd phone and tell you I'd be late.
If I were stuck at HATFIELD HERTS,
I'd win my fare by playing darts.
If I were stuck at POTTERS BAR,
I'd wish upon the northern star.
If I were stuck at... anywhere,
I'd really rather you were there.
(* Milne's version has "Norroway" for Norway, so I feel this sort of thing is entirely justified.)

Great fun, and great potential. this could become Write Out Loud's version of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue's Mornington Crescent. Or similar with Motorway Service areas, though not sure what might rhyme with Knutsford.
