Ode To Cityrail

I would like for people to add to this.


I’d just like to state,
That this ode is a work in progress,
Much like our beloved city rail,
The finished version may never arrive.

Many additions will be made to this,
And some alterations need to be made too,
Also, it’s meant to be a poem that doesn’t rhyme,
To resemble cityrail’s transport that doesn’t transport,

Just because our trains have doors,
Doesn’t mean that they open.
Just because the trains have drivers,
Doesn’t mean that they can drive.

Just because we use the word comfort,
Doesn’t mean that we provide it.
Just because we use train tracks,
Doesn’t mean the trains stay on them.

Express means less stops at stations,
And more stops between them.
Limited stops means all stations,
Except for the one everyone uses.

The part of your anatomy that produces waste,
Is allowed to rest upon the seats,
But try and put your feet on the seats,
And we’ll have to fine you.

Drivers speak their own language,
Kogarah locals can’t even understand them.
Drivers manage to ensure your safety though,
By driving slower than ever before.

Our stations are designed to annoy,
As well as become easily over crowded.
Our stations also smell like urine,
Even though their toilets are always closed.

Trackwork is performed on the busiest days,
And on the lines most commonly used.
Trackwork is done at the busiest time of the day,
And the only alternative is the *gulp* bus.

At City Rail, on time means,
Your train is delayed once.
At City Rail, we have ticket inspectors,
Who look like extras from “Prisoner”

When you are running late,
City Rail ensures it will help,
By providing you with the most inefficient,
And time consuming service possible.

Occassionally our trains run on schedule,
This problem is always quickly rectified.
We ensure early trains wait at stations,
Until they are running late again.

We also provide a new service,
Which we know you commuters love,
We delay your train a few times,
Then cancel it after you waited an hour.

When your train is cancelled,
We do deliver a service eventually,
Hundreds of people are happy to see their train,
Then they realise we only have half as many cars.

However, aside from all this,
We like to prove we have fun,
By showing a sense of humour,
We call our overpriced tickets “fares”

I dare say no one has ever written an Ode to cityrail before.

So for originality I give me 10/10

Its purposely meant to suck, to resemble the object discussed in the ode.

or start a poll to see if in fact, we should start a poll, to see if people have far too much free time on thier hands, to vote in polls.

You appreciated the loud noise as the train went through a tunnel?

The uncomfortable seats?

YOU LIE! :lol: :p

I definitely did not appreciate the dirt I got on my hands when i touched one of the rails, but the fact that they were on time more than made up for that. I think you underappreciate them madunit.

Not only are the trains late
But the colours are so ugly
All those greys and yellows and blues
Why not call ourselves 'British rail?'
Except that British rail trains look good
And like everything else we try to copy
We stuff it up
Clearly our new train colour schemes
Were thought up by a Parramatta fan
Who creams their pants
At all those blue and yellow fronts on trains
With those bright yellow painted doors
In case you are a dumbarse
Who is too stupid to figure out where the doors are
The red rattlers were brown but they didn't look like crap

However like everything else we try to upgrade
We simply bring the system one step closer
One step closer to the third world.
Thank God I am moving to Queensland soon
Hopefully trains are a little less late up there
And maroon and yellow doesn't look so crap on trains!
