I've had this in my head for a few days...

On the twelfth day of August, the railway sent to me:
Twelve punters moaning,
Eleven vandals vandalling,
Ten pissed commuters,
Nine late arrivals,
Eight short formations,
Seven signal failures,
Six cancellations,
Five suicides!
Four staff assaults,
Three failed Duffs,
Two pulled alarms
And a ruling from the HSE.

Er, sorry.
