The Cad

Laughing, I untied the gag in her mouth,

To the glorious sounds of sweet screaming,

Billows of smoke gathered just to the south,

And the steel locomotive was gleaming.

◊

Heart all aflutter, I tittered with glee,

As I twirled at my villainous mustache,

Tipping my top hat, I slapped at my knee,

And guffawed as I watched the maid’s legs thrash.

◊

“Nya-Ha!” I cried, as the choo choo came near,

I was feeling deliciously dastard.

Tied to the track, she saw perfectly clear,

On my face a big smile was plastered.
