Peanut

A roasted peanut sat on the tracks

He didn’t have hair and he didn’t wear slacks

Just sittin’

He sat there waitin’ for who knew what

The air was still and the sun was hot

Just sittin’

‘Til along came a train and squashed him flat

Twenty five carriages and that was that

Peanut butter

And then came a fox who sniffed at the mess

Licked up the splat and settled for a rest

Just sittin’
