Examples

“Yours goes up and mine goes down / and then we do it the other way around. / Don't you give me that sigh, cause if we can't see eye-to-eye / then our missions will be always filled with strife, / cause a handcar is a metaphor for life.”

“A small handcar rested on the tracks, its iron pump waiting for a human touch to animate it.”
