THE CATALOGUE
With the advent of each new catalog,
The dreamers dream,
And the bloggers blog.
Perusing each page,
Checking the gauge.
Counting the rivets,
And every nail.
Is it correct?
Is it really to scale?
Are the wheels right,
To handle my curve?
Should I spend the money,
Do I have the nerve?
We read each page,
From front to back.
We search and scheme,
Is there any new track?
The pictures are great,
The renderings delicious.
We must have all these things,
To fulfill our wishes.
These books excite,
Both old and young.
They make hearts beat fast,
With toys that last.
Twice each year,
Or sometimes three.
These catalogs,
Bring us much glee.
