β€œthe thinker of tender thoughts” by shel silverstein

[an illustration depicting a boy growing into a man. as he grows, his hair grows out as flowers. people laugh at him for it and he becomes sad. he starts trimming off the flowers, but as he reaches the last one he stops. he is then depicted with a smile and a flower in his buttonhole on his jacket.]

She came from Greece,
she had a faulty socket.
Her eye fell out,

It used to be that the β€˜railway station’ was a thing, as opposed to tube or bus station, but now people say β€˜train station’, which doesn’t sound as poetic
