The last train

And, the three men I admire most:

the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost,

they...

Caught the last train for the coast

the day the music died

and they were singing 'bye bye -mother f*ck*rs!'

Well they'd have to be if they were abandoning us at such a dark moment, wouldn't they?
And why is Don McLean the singer/writer such an admirer then?  One can either conclude he's either an idiot or masochist with a diety fetish.

OR maybe, just maybe he's the wisest philosopher ever; smart enough to see we have been abandoned, but canny enough to slip it into a pop song so he can't be brought up on heresy charges!

No wonder mankind has been acting out all these centuries, it's got repressed abandonment issues.  Now I'm pissed.  I hope that 'last train for the coast' went off the friggin' rails!

And I hope they wound up worse than these:

the most famous

the most inexplicable

the most well attended

the most dangly

 

the most fiery

and the most tragic -because while all other train wrecks
were at least over in moments, this one never ends.

The motive for this loco piece is of course WWFC's writing challenge.  Go see who did manage to stay on the tracks.  I'm sure you'll enjoy the ride.
