Snow and Coal

December 22, 2019
A dark cloud rolls O’er the town Backlit by street lamps Burning the midnight oil

As herds of children In their 'jams Drag "experiential" parents To the steam engine's boil

For 'cross this frosty Little town Large groups of people Can be found

Searching for the next Express

Into a time they step Back in line to board The old coal and steel From rail to tail first Cold winter's night

They experience the past As if it were real And Christmas wishes turn kisses Into hot chocolate dreams. Awake They return Glowing with the magic of the season!
