The Little Engine Who said I Can

Inspired by The Little Engine that Could written by Watty Piper.

Puff Puff a choo achoo I am I am one to go to go and try anyway

Forward Forward I scale heights above all that none could ever obtain

Bringing joy and sunshine the Little Red Engine crested to heights of Ocapello with goodies for boys and girls

Singing their own song were toy animals of giraffes, teddy bears, dolls with curls aplenty and bob of shape, toy engines, airplanes, tops, jack-knives, puzzle of pictorial scenes, books, toys of variety of rich, fruits, milk, vegetables that said I’m good to eat and candy for treats of reward

Rich with abundance clear the little engine chugged along merrily and screamed I’m coming up the mountain and happy I am for the children are my joy to surprise you until eyes are wide and joy surround us all

But alas the strain became too hard and the little engine sighed quiet and said I cannot anymore breathing hard

Engine by engine came by and said nay nay not I not I for important am I am I for duties of high became me rich abundance

Until one small blue engine said I will I will help you all until I achieve the wishes of all for the children are my dearest wish to see happy happy again, merry at play, safe and free as the wind blow sweet and kind

The Red Engine that sighed tired became the Little Blue Engine’s love and became one
