The Denver & Rio Grande Brakeman

The beast had
     ten angry toes.
     They made him wobble
     when he drank,
     but they always
     caught his prey.

His wife trembled
     when they walked in;

His daughters hid
     behind their own shadows;

His sons ate themselves
     from the inside.

'Til once upon a time ~
A mean ol' train sliced
     five little piggies
     clean off one foot.

They could outrun
     five toe man
     all the live-long day.

And they all lived happily ever after.

Amen.
