Steam Engines Are Just Smelly Things - original song

The antidote to my song "Tornado". If, like my wife, you are unable to comprehend the emotions of steam enthusiasts and their ilk, you may identify with the sentiments in this song.

like if your up at midnight, just typed in things that are smelly just to get something random, saw this, and pissed yourself

@patriotscenter3 If you want 'smelly' then try the putrefaction on "Drag the Magic Puffin"!

[TheMakemFolksinger]

All the best,

A great song, and one which makes me glad I made sure, all those years ago, that I married a lass who loved steam trains, rugby and cricket! (Oh yes, and folk music too.)

[oldfolkiepad]

@GhostontheMoor Thank you! You did very well to find a wife who shares all those interests. Ange and I have been very happily married for 36 years but we agree to differ on all four of those subjects!

Regards,

Paddy

@adam4bfc That's quite all right - no need to apologise!

[adam4bfc]

@oldfolkiepad ahh sorry, i miss understood :)

[oldfolkiepad]

@adam4bfc I know that you've now watched "Tornado" and will have realised that I love steam engines. "Steam Engines Are Just Smelly Things" is intended as an ironic, and comic, response from the perspective of someone who doesn't understand their appeal. No offence is intended, either to steam lovers or to those who are baffled by their enthusiasm!

[adam4bfc]

I think most steam lovers find this abit offensive to say you're saying that our interest is a load if rubbish and were of our trolly.
