My childhood memory! L/F Stoi na stacji lokomotywa, Ciężka, ogromna i pot z niej spływa: Tłusta oliwa......... The locomotive’s standing at the station, Huge, heavy, it drips perspiration – Oily lubrication. It stands and wheezes, it groans and gnashes Its boiling belly stuffed with hot ashes: Arrrgh, what torture! Phew, what a scorcher! Panting and puffing! Hissing and huffing! It’s barely gasping, it’s barely breathing, And still its fireman more coal keeps on heaping.........
