All my work is self illustrated so this little ditty is so there's not a O here.

The Steam Gobbling Goblin.

The steam gobbling goblin as his name implies
Has a rare addiction for it is steam that he imbibes.
If you ever visit and are asked,
"Would you like tea?"
You will have to be quite patient,
For as it is plain to see,
He never fills his teapot.
For at the kettle spout
His condensation snout
With an effervescent air
Will drain the kettle bare.

He is innocently modern
For a bathroom, he has not
He simply has a steam room
A sauna super hot.

Though steam trains now are rarely to be seen
It is travel by them that really makes him keen.
Where the pistons wheeze and chuff
You will find him perched to puff
And the only way to find him
Is to listen for the sound
Puffa, chuffa, suck.
Puffa, chuffa, suck.
Puffa, chuffa, suck.


This is in "Muddle Puddle and the Whistling Shell" and you will have to go to the link on my self promotion post in forums to get a proper peek at that
