When I say I’m a nice guy, I get:
“Nice is easy, nice is cheap, nice is next to boring and boring people say ‘nice.’”
So, instead:
I’m organized, highly focused, always on time.
Slow to start, but once I do…!
You can’t stop me connecting to you.
I like to go fast when fast is safe,
sometimes slow is safe, it depends
on the surface, the incline, the curves.
When I’m near the end, I like to go slow.
You can depend on me.
Set your clock by me.
Six figure job, never married, no kids.
Mortgage. Spare room. Two actually.
One is my hobby room.
You see…
One thing about me you could call “nice-plus.”
Obsessive, I guess you would say.
My hobby. My passion. My pride.
I hope you don’t think that it’s weird.
It’s not a kink. Or a secret. Just nice-plus.
I like…trains.
Really, really like trains.
In England they call us trainspotters.
In America it’s railfan. I’m a railfan.
We photograph trains from the platform,
build models, photograph the models, share online,
memorize engines, signals, schedules, interiors of vintage cars…
Why trains?
Trains are organized, highly focused, always on time.
They are slow to start, but when they do…!
Nothing stops them where they’re zooming to.
They go fast when fast is safe,
sometimes slow is safe, it depends
on the surface, the incline, the curves.
You can depend on trains.
Set your clock by trains.
Would you like to travel together by rail?
It’s like falling backward in time.
I know the coziest cars,
where the champagne flows
as the landscape goes flying by.
I don’t always like moving so fast,
but it can be very nice, the view,
in an antique restored red mahogany velvet lined sleeping compartment,
for two.
Me and you!
