Purgatory With Pantagraphs

From the depths of commuter hell, comes Purgatory with Pentagraphs. These are the continuing stories of the brave souls who commute daily to Chicago on the South Shore electric train, and the muggles who are unfortunate enough to meet them.

A South Shore Christmas Carol

Sung to the tune of Winter Wonderland

"Muggles whine, are you listenin?
On the train, people bitchin'.
They steal all our seats,
as we roll along,
sittin on a muggle filled train.

Gone away are the good seats,
here to stay, the Gorditas.
They call out our stops,
the tourists are lost,
sittin on a muggle filled train

On the platform we can smell the homeless,
then they ask us for some money.
We'll say 'are you sober'?
They'll say 'HELL NO,
but I could use the Mad Dog anyway'.

Later on we'll prespire,
as we sit by the Sasquatch.
He's 400 pounds,
he hasn't showered,
sittin on a muggle filled train.

In the four seater sits a family,
all are muggles with their kids and their bags.
The kids have fun screaming with their dolly's,
until the commuters shout them down.

When it snows
its a chillin,
then the power starts a failin.
We'll freeze and complain,
the commuter way,
Riding on a Muggle Filled Train...
Riding on a Muggle Filled Train...
Riding on a Muggle Filled Train..."

    The sad part is that it DOES write itself with the sad state of affairs you poor souls are subjected to every day. Sometimes I curse the 3rd shift, and other times I think about riding next to that sasquatch, and yep....driving is better :)
