The Wrong Side Of The Tracks

Vince Bunnyman once knew a girl from the wrong side of the tracks.
But she hadn’t always been from the wrong side of the tracks.
Her family had previously lived only 3 bus stops away.
Then her Dad moved away and she moved with her Mum and her Brother to the other side of the train tracks.
The wrong side.
Within a couple of days of moving house they realised that their bedroom windows faced each other.
They were separated by two pains of glass and the V-Line train.
At first they would wave good morning and good night to one another.
Eventually they started using Morse code via torchlight.
Unfortunately neither of them understood Morse code so their conversations were subjective at best.
For his eleventh birthday Vince received a 1:100 scale remote control helicopter.
He would tie Teddy Bear Biscuits to the underside of the helicopter and attempt to fly them over the train line to her adjoining window.
Sadly the Teddy Bear Biscuit never made it past the Three-Fourteen to Shepparton.
One month later her Dad returned and her family moved again.
She was now 2 train stations and 6 bus stops away.
She’d never seemed closer.
Once again she was on the right side of the tracks.
