He siad I should post this to the Forum, so here it 'tis , enjoy!
A Microbusss Christmas train-chasing saga
by Jerry Casper
Dashing through the snow,
taking pictures of a train,
spinning 'round and 'round,
the results are all in vain!
Hearing Christmas bells,
things are looking bright,
why are paramedics hovering over me
this snowy freezing night?!
Oh, jingled bells, I slid and fell,
trying to catch UP,
oh what fun I thought it was,
'til Jack Frost brought me to my knees, Hey!
Jingled bells, jingled bells, jangled all the way,
the train went past, I fell and went splat,
and the picture got away!

That's actually a pretty good parody(?) song because the words actually go pretty well with it.

I'll come up with a new song parody....
Lets see...titles, titles...hmm...
"Santa Baby "
Santa baby, slip a Tyco under the tree, gimmee!
I've been an awful good guy
Santa baby, and hurry down to gimme tonight
Santa baby, a long n graceful steam engine too, Royal blue
I'll wait up for you dear
Santa baby, and hurry down to gimme tonight
Think of all the train shows I've missed
Think of all the fellas that'll be pissed
Next year I could be oh so good
If you'd gimme my whole train list
Boo doo bee doo
" All I want for Christmas is Tyco " ( Mariah Carey version )
Gimme all I want for Christmas
There's just one thousand trains I need
I don't care about the stuffs
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want lots of trains for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my Scottsbluff wish come true
Gimme all them trains for Christmas, yahoo!
And I can keep it rollin' along....

Buisnesses were closed & so were a few resturants
 That don't happen often
