Hello Kitty Bullet Train

Fantasy and economy on a one track mind

Hello Kitty pretty bullet train
Lets go choo choo with you
Crazy fast from Osaka to Fukuoka
Pink and white inside and out
Purple seats are soft and comfy
All these fantastic fantasies are plush
But are there toilets and vomit bags

Is this a bus
Such hallucinations make me dizzy
Hello Kitty! I can't even say Shinkansen
Spelling the name is silly and insane
Not everyone on Earth has a three year old
Welcome abroad little Hello Kitty kids
Bring plenty of Monopoly money sweetie
The bills are so colorful tiny and small
Take daddy with you too with real green cash
Hello Kitty trains run sugar sweet on tracks

On imagination in fact

In loco crazy locomotion in reverse
Pretty in pink but nothing runs for free

Hi sette,
So glad you enjoyed it. I wrote it on the spur of the moment. I just now restructured it and made some changes. You are welcome to view the changes if you find the time. Have a great day. Earl

Enjoyed the frivolity (and bit of sarcasm) in this piece. Thank you for sharing!

Hi Kami, Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. There are moments when I can be seriously silly. Hello Kitty touched my funny bone so I touched back. Also: What a wonderful tea set you have on display. Have a great day. Earl

Hi Walkingman117,
Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it. It looks like the Japanese have their hands full too. I imagine business men taking this train to work every day. Now I understand the concept of suicide. Have a great day....and don't take the train. Earl
