Bold Boaster Boarded The Ghost Train Poem by Indira Renganathan

Bold Boaster boarded the Ghost train
Boasting he being the bravest
Meet could he his end even to die bravely

Ghost of the ghost train asked 'really? '
'Yes I am the bravest..even my end'
Said Boaster threatening the ghost

So thoughtfully the train sighed hefty
Then moved slowly hauling a shhhh-shhhh
Then on a sudden thud tadak-tadaked

Accelerated to run fast in pitch-dark
Dadam-dadam dadam-dadam dadam-dadam
Then faster dadadadadadadadadadadada

The train went into caves, up on cliffs
Down into the vales, then whizzed down
On bridges, glug-glugged in ocean deep

Then into the forest running wildly
With bellowing honks on zig-zag skips
Where lots of ghosts and goblins got in..

The ghost of the ghost train leered..
To its dismay Boaster was so cool
And tolerent to all the michiefs

Ghost of the ghost train gave up not
It drove now with vengence fleeing
In whirring speed.Ghosts and goblins

Now with skeletons giving thunderbolts
Of slams, slaps, bangs, beats, shoots to
Smash Boaster in sky high din-dins..

Clamorously hammering, rackety it was..
In more speed ghost of the ghost train
Yelled'there's no end Boaster, o.k? '

Boaster said 'o.k'.Atonce a fire bursted
Smoke shrouded, the train ran and ran and
Ran didin-didin didin-didin didin-didin

Dindindindindindindindindindindindindin
On and on and on and on and on and on
In endless rounds en route all it went

Endlessly with all the wild beatings
By the ghosts, goblins and skeletons
onomatopoeias boom-booming it ran

Ran ran raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan
Endlessly round round round round
Rouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuund on and

Onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn till Boaster
Was stirred to be feared of that
Endless Ghost Train journey at last! !
