Inspired by the works of the children's author, Bill Peet. When my kids were young, they loved his stories. In many cases, the entire story was a rhyming poem. It always amazed me how good the rhyming was, and the meter was always perfect. This poem is very much in his style and is similar in some ways to Smokey which was also about a train put out to pasture. That story had a happy ending, though.
We kept the books, and now the grandkids are enjoying them.
