Fauxku Choo Choo (the play's the thing)

I guess you don't know the rules. Your first stanza should be the last stanza of the last post. THEN your next stanza uses three words from that, etc etc

Abridged Fauxku Choo Choo guidelines:

1. Any TINY poem of 1 to 4 lines (or a 5 line limerick) - does not have to be haiku-like.
2. Poem includes 2 significant words from the preceding one. 
        (Tense and plurality may be changed, homonyms are allowed.)
3. Poem reflects some aspect of the previous poem (encouraged but not obligatory).

also:
4. Copy last poem and repeat it above your poem in your post.
5. It's OK to play with yourself. (Post replies to you own poem.)
6. If the previous poem doesn't fit the guidelines: 
        Either mention this politely, or continue on as if nothing happened, 
        or use the poem before it, or strike off on your own. (See guideline 3 above.)
7. It's OK to add TINY extraneous (or not) notes. 
 8. Ray can do whatever he wants as he is the One True God (of FauxkChoo u Ch
