The Horses came down the country Roads

Delivering by cart Black gold – Coal

To move the Iron Horse by Steam

And these mighty horses – fuelled by coal

Moved across rails on road

Powered by steam

Wheels of steel moved by steam

Replaced wagons on road

using engines fuelled by coal

    Fab poem – I’ve yet to get to that museum, used to pass it a lot when I lived in the north east. Also snap with the form 🙂
