No. 51 Bus

I'm laughing with the horses
even though I rode the
bus this morning,
my cheap thrills adventure for today...
not even knowing my schedule,
the bus was perfectly on time,
(I love when that happens, don't you?)
And all I do is think...
think...
think...
nothing gets in the way,
are people really weird
or is it my imagination that's strange?
am I loopy now
and not so back then?
horses need oats, hay & water
and the people on the bus
go up & down
in and out
go somewhere,
come back.

Pling pling!

A lovely absurd little comment of a poem, an everyday occurrence made into a little view askew although symmetrical no doubt. The pink fluffy day colouring your thoughts making them powdery and loopy! Taking you back to the days of the horse those poor working animals of the past thank goodness they're retired at last. The wheels of the bus they go round and round, we sang that one at the Norwegian kindergarten too and added our own verses about all sorts of absurd things that would never be found in a bus ever. great fun, even for the driver!!!! Our bus was Nr.56 going to Solemskogen. Out to the woods where the end of the road found the kindergarten. Pling ! From Ann of Norway

It was a good day for taking

It was a good day for taking a scenic tour. and now my grey roots don't show either. I'm getting to be a hermit... and that's not good. ;-) "If you have come to help me, you are wasting your time. But if you have come because your liberation is wound up in mine, then let us work together." Aboriginal Activist Group, Queensland, 1970's
