Poor Little Trains and Buses

I takes but little to disrupt the trains and buses now,

As to the slightest problems found they very quickly bow.

Too hot a day will quickly cause some trains to cease to run,

As if the poor things cannot stand a normal English sun.

Another problem that can stop a sturdy English train,

Which might seem quite surprising, is a different sort of rain.

They also find they’ve problems with a different type of snow –

Even just a dusting can cause endless scenes of woe.

Leaves which from deciduous trees each year in autumn drop

Can be the cause of stressed out trains just coming to a stop.

Not only trains, but buses too, are not averse to flinch

At running when the snow in London reaches half and inch.

It really is pathetic when our weather’s fairly mild,

Our transport’s more affected than in countries where it’s wild.
