Yeah, I’d sorta like to start another one since they slammed the kibosh on the last one. Thing is, I don’t have the energy or attention span to referee it. Sorry. It’s my ADD. Ya know. So if you don’t mind enabling my social loafing-- they learnt me them 20 cent words out at the college-- what I’m proposin is, instead of song titles, how 'bout words that’s gotta be in the song somewheres…OK? Let’s say we start out with…oh, I don’t know… how about… **Train**! Yeah, the word is **Train** Since I blew it last time for team 2, I’ll give them a handicap and start out on team 1, which, by sheer coincidence, is leading by one smiley face 😃 : **Team 1** 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 **Team 2** 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 So, _I hear the_ **Train** _a-commin’_ _It’s rollin’ round the bend…_ —Johnny Cash – “Folsom Prison Blues” ---
