Train Sim'ers Lament

ATSF_Super_Chief Logo

Ok so you finally got the game you wanted
Opened the box and finally tried to load it
Remember pal you asked for this, your choice
You didn't have to be goaded

Welcome to the Train Sim world
Though you are still just a beginner
By the time you learn how its done
Your hair just could be thinner

You didn't read the back of the box
About all the stuff you needed
Processor, Ram, video card, hard drive space
Darn your old computer has just been exceeded

There's a simple remedy to all of this
Hold on now don't put it in the trash
Get on your knees and tell the wife
Honey I've just got to have more cash

Now you're ready to go get some trains
You want to go flying down the track
You want some decent cars and stuff
Talk to Marc, In the forum he's known as Hack

Now you're cooking, you have your super pack
And your family is wondering where ya been
Your were at your computer waiting for Train-Sim
It can be hard sometimes trying to get in

You downloaded loads of cars and stuff
Now you're having problems, running on a route
Time to visit the forums my friend
They'll gladly help you out

They told you about all kinds of things
Conbuilder and something call route riter
Better put on the coffee pot old sod
This could be an all nighter

You're up and running two months now
Things were going just fine
Until you changed an engine file
But edited the wrong darn line

Now your engine refuses to go
You scream, cuss and pull your hair
Have no fear my friend, it's back to the forum
experienced help is always there

You get the help you sorely need
The whistles and bells all began to chime
If you listened to the vets they all told you
To learn this sim it just takes is time
