Midweek Haiku

Polar Ex has left
Autotrain pulls in the station
train season lives on

Holidays are gone
Modular layout still up
Fun is wearing thin

Engine have run hard
Time to grease, oil, and clean
8 days left to run

PE Tender boxed
Pere Marquette behind engine
Time to pull the freight

Sick for the New Years
Still have not cut any wood
Behind on my plans

Benchwork budget blues
Sad, sorry, sinking dollar
Plywood's real expensive

Spagnuolo got canned
St. Louis Lambs got slaughtered
How long till the draft?

trains are away for now
stark basement walls await their splendor
tax time is around the bend
a new empire to build.

Mike's resolution.
An interesting challenge.
Chances are real slim.

I'm in the same boat.
Trying to work on other
modeling projects.

New stuff is released.
In road names I really like.
Big hit on wallet.

Clearing out garage.
Son's Project car is now gone.
Time to organize.

Wife is on warpath.
"No you can't build a layout!"
To late! It's started.

Matt's now in doghouse.
For starting on construction.
Of switching modules.

It's even worse though.
'Cause Matt also started on
new building for club.

Matt hits nail on head
I'm already in trouble
Greenberg this weekend!

I feel your pain Mike.
We're all very infected
with train addiction.

My resolution:
Play with my Big Boy and
the tender behind

Layout coming down.
Much boring work still remains.
Probably eight weeks.

A little Caboose
Bobbing behind a Big Boy
Is a Tender sight!!!

(Just for you Farmer Bill)

Walt, keep playing
Will be Thanksgiving soon
Time passes, enjoy it.

What was once, room-filling cheer,
lies broken and alone,
at curbside;
our Christmas tree is done.
