(Railway goes planetary)!
It would take the launch of the James Webb space telescope in 2021 to dispel the final myth that Earth was flat! The new Railway needed a standard time, So sailors Greenwich World wide navigational clock was adopted in 1847! With international midnight chosen in 1884? Ships of adventure could never get closer than 21 miles to the edge of this World we sit on! So I couple our engine onto our carriages for my driver to then ask if I might clean my shovel? A good blast with the ‘Pep pipe of boiling water n steam! He picks his chosen spot in my fire, Then out come the bacon rashers, and a small lump of Lard? Followed by a couple of eggs! For a solar orbital time allowance of Greenwich that both yokes be runny! I chew on my marmalade sandwich to the smell of a good fry up! I wake the engine to time! And we leave the station to time! We climb a 27 Arch viaduct to go to the cliffs of a Jurassic age? Where sea shells and bones have lain 50ft down under those cliffs for millions of years, Maybe deeper, Maybe a hundred ft? But what laid that 1st egg? My coal is possibly just as old? And just ‘what’ might of grazed on its vegetation? But the new James Webb telescope suggests we are but newcomers to the Cosmic party! And if our transmissions can reach the moon! What distant creature might be listening to Led Zepplin?
