Genesis of a
Retirement
Well Deserved Cuppa
Jack retired on Friday.
On Monday the electrician came to
put in the fancy new light system in the loft. It was a gift from his
work-mates.
On Tuesday Jack put up the table
he’d bought from Ikea and moulded some ponds and hills.
Wednesday he put down the grass
and the track.
Thursday he put up some houses
and little people.
And on Friday he worked out how
the signals and the points would work. .
On Saturday he prepared the
engines.
On Sunday Jack set the trains
going on the tracks. He saw that his creation was good.
