The Most Magic Train Ticket

The magic train ticket was so magic that it didn't cost any money at all yet could take you to every place, anywhere, anytime you wished to go. The magic train ticket was so magic that it could even be used on buses, boats, trains and aeroplanes. It could get you from here to there in seconds. In the rain, the magic train ticket was so magic that it stayed completely dry ... so magic that although other ordinairy train tickets soon became sodden and wet ... it never wripped, it never tore. The magic train ticket was so magic that it was utterly indestructible. So indestructible, in fact, that even magic scissors could not cut it up. You could stmap on it, twist it and turn it ... but the magic train ticket was so magic that it jumped back up all by itself. If the magic train ticket got lost, it found it's own way home again. It may have been left to gather dust in an old purse, among credit cards, library cards and five pound notes ... it ma have been dropped underneath a table, accidentally placed in a rubbish bin among crisp packets and fizzy pop bottles ... but the magic train ticket as so magic that it was never forgotten. The magic train ticket was so magic that it could take you to Timbuktu and back again. So magic, in fact that it could fly all by itself, floating high in the clouds, jet propelled into space around the universe leaving a trail of clouds of magic dust behind it and through the hole in the ozone layer before landing on Mars. The magic train ticket was so magic that it could get you from here to there in seconds as quick as a flash. Magic. © Jacqueline Richards 2005
