The early hours of Saturday were spent
Getting the train to Euston rail station
Too late for the Manchester train. I went
Down on the London pavement too often
And we missed our northern-bound connection
Lay on Euston floor cradling a coffee
Then dozed upon the train to Northampton
Which was the final stop, quarter to three
Or thereabouts, stuck there til finally
Trains started running from there again
Round 5:45, when we jumped upon
The Stafford train, changed for Piccadilly
Went to bed about 8:30 intent
On a short rest, easing my exhaustion
