Go, Train, Go! (2 page)

Clickety-clack, clickety-clack,

down, down the hill,

Thomas the Tank Engine

goes faster than fast.

Screech! go the brakes.

Thomas goes so slow.

Slow,

slow,

slower

than slow he goes.

“Hurry, Thomas! Why do you go so slow?

Take me to the train show. Go, train, go!”

The tunnel is so dark.

Slow, slow, slow

he goes

into the dark,

      dark,

            dark

                  tunnel …

 … and out the other side!

Clickety-clack, clickety-clack,

over a bridge.

He was going so fast.

He was going so fast,

the judge lost her hat!

Screech! go the brakes.

Thomas goes slow.

      Slow,

            slow,

                  slow

                        he goes.

“Hurry, Thomas!

We’re running late, you know.

Take me to the train show.

Go, train, go!”

But Thomas must go slow.

There is a cow on the track.

Moo! Moo! goes the cow.

Peep! Peep! goes Thomas.

The cow moves back.

Clickety-clack, clickety-clack,

Thomas the Tank Engine

moves faster than fast!

Screech! go the brakes.

Thomas goes slow.

      Slow,

            slow,

                  slow

                        he goes.

“Don’t stop, Thomas. Go, train, go!

Don’t stop now. I’m late for the show!”
