Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for November 23, 2021

Well I’ll be a cabooses uncle!

And that’s when the diesel express train smashes through and sends the steam locomotive into the scrapyard!

I hear that some of his speeches get kinda steamy.

I hate to see what happens when Broomie returns home motivated…

He really stokes my boiler.

He’s heading for outer space. That’s his first stage.

Blaine the Train before his breakdown.

And sometimes he goes off track.

Is that Thomas? I heard his speaking tour tanked.

Zag Zugglar: locomotivational speaker.

Not very motivational if you only think you can.

My Grandson would say that’s Thomas.

Next week: Broom Hilda..“Going Green”.

He hopefully writes his speeches down, so he doesn’t get confused, and he gets off track.

Not a good thing—I do not like a pushy engine! Where’s the old humility?
