My life – were I a train, ship or car

I’d keep on spouting rickety yack
my train wheels going clickety-clack:

Seldom were I a locomotive
usually a mere caboose
Rarely dug deep down to emotive
just spouting cursory excuse

*

I’d be like a storm tossed ship
on vast ocean a mere blip:

Bow setting in waves slake
as memories fade remote
astern in churning wake
but briefly they stay afloat

*

If a car the whimsical Deux Chevaux
that purely minimalist, wheeled gizmo:

Watch it doggedly ‘dash’ uphill
engine whining wheezily
at speeds barely besting standstill
While downhill rolls easily
