CHATEAU MABILE

Rest in pieces (har har) beloved Old Train Bank. You will be missed. I am sorry you had such a sudden and rough passage, and I am sorry that there wasnt enough super glue in the world to repair the tiny fissures throughout your ravaged, crumbling body. You never looked so majestic as when you were accidentally chugged off the edge of the bunk bed. Even in death you inspired awe...shock and awe actually. But not that kind, don't worry. Old Train Bank held many a found and highly valued penny, and even a whole dollar bill. Old Train Bank is survived by his loving owner and engineer, Liam. For, you see, Old Train Bank was not just an idle bank on a shelf, he was also a valued member of his owner's chuffing fleet. His origins were both unknown and lowly, for he was found at a garage sale and before that we do not know, but his purpose was noble. Anything important enough to inspire the imagination of a four year old boy, though, is a treasure indeed. So thank you, Old Train Bank. We are comforted in knowing that you are chugging along the Heavenly tracks in the sky now. And i just want you to know, so there are no hard feelings and you dont come back to haunt me or something, I warned him that you were very breakable...repeatedly. Also, please forgive Liam for already looking at replacements for you on eBay. He's got an engine shortage now, after all.
