The Flying Kipper (George Carlin US)

one winter afternoon, Henry's driver said we would leave early tomorrow, we have to catch the

flying

herring, don't tell Gordon, but I think if we pull the herring right, Sir Topham Hatt will let us pull the express, the special coal that they gave us. You're working well, hooray, Henry shouted, that'll be lovely. All types of ships use the port at the large seaside station. There are passenger ships, cargo ships and fishing boats that also come here. They unload their fish in the key. Some of it goes to stores. in the city and the rest on a special train to other distant places this is the Train that the railwaymen call the

flying

herring Henry was ready at five o'clock there was snow and frost the men hurried and shouted loading the boxes of fish the La Last door slammed, the guard showed his green lamp and the flying herring is ready to go, come on, come on, don't be a fool, don't be a fool, Henry huffed towards the freight cars, the car shuddered and groaned, truck tricky, tricky truck, alright, alright.

That's better, that's better Henry exhaled clouds of smoke and steam burst from his funnel into the cold air and the firelight shone brightly, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, Henry gasped, they were going well, the light got better, the signal light It flashed green as they passed and then the yellow signal appeared. ahead, his driver prepared to stop, but the start signal was off, all clear, Henry, come on, they couldn't have known that the switches from the main line to a siding were frozen and the start signal should have been compromised , but the snow had forced her to go down.

A freight train was waiting on the siding to let the flying herring pass and the driver and the firefighters were drinking cocoa in the Caboose. The herring arrived, said the driver, who is worried, said the fireman, this is good cocoa. The driver got up, come on, the guys. firefighters back to our engine came out just in time the driver and Henry's fireman had jumped away before the accident but Henry lay dazed and surprised Sir Topham Hatt came to see him the signal was cut sir said Henry cheer up Henry it wasn't your fault ice and snow caused the accident I'm sending the crew a good place for sick engines they will give you a new shape and a larger combustion chamber you will feel a different engine and you will no longer need special coal wouldn't that be nice?

Yes, sir, Henry said doubtfully. Henry liked being part of the crew, but he was glad to be returning home. A crowd of people were waiting to see him arrive in his new form. He looked so splendid and strong that they gave him three cheers. He whistled, thank you very much. I'm sorry to say that many little children are often late for school because they wait to see Henry pass by, they often see him pulling the express, he does it so well that Gordon gets jealous, that's another story.
