The train arrived. I boarded the train. I went to my seat and sat down. The train pulled away from the station.
“Welcome aboard!”
I looked across the aisle and saw him sitting there.
“Welcome aboard!” Saint Patrick welcomed me.
I could not believe my eyes. “What brings you on the train?”
“Oh, I enjoy riding the train. I enjoy sitting back and looking at the scenery.” He smiled at me.
“I enjoy the same thing.” I said.
We continued to ride until I reached my stop. “Time for me to get off. I wish you good luck.”
“I hope you have plenty of good luck.” He smiled.
I stepped off the train, and I waved at him as the train departed.
Wishing Everyone a HAPPY SAINT PATRICK’S DAY!
