I looked at the photo above and thought surely

a passage between the carriages there ought to be

so that in first class the gentry for tea could beckon

by some form of signal to their servants in second

and we all know tea should be not just warm but hot

so they wouldn’t need to wait for the train to stop

Because it was a special Bank holiday

I decided to lie in yesterday

going downstairs I found the table laid

eggs, bacon, toast and marmalade

which was the lime version to my relief

it doesn’t leave zest sticking in your teeth.
