Out and about

Once upon a time I went on the train to London.  

I sat near a man in a nice stripy shirt. 

Mr. Busy, he had lots of important papers and a cheese sandwich.

This boy looked a bit thoughtful, 

as though his jumper was flecked by a skein of melancholy.

On the way home, a hairdresser embarked carrying a toolbox rattling with combs and scissors. 

He also had a large McDonald’s bag. 

He didn’t notice I was sketching him while he ate three burgers, fries and ice cream. 

He must have had an exhausting day!

So, watch out if you ever sit opposite me on the train….

….especially if you're having forty winks!
