From the obtuse desk of Chiccoreal:
ALL PASSENGERS;
IF you want a ticket you have to perform A TASK! AND NOT JUST ANY TASK!!!A task which may be interesting. Would you please write a poem for a free ticket TODAY?
On The Poetry Bus by including ONE of TWO possible tasks. Here they are;
1. I want you to write a poem on the first thing that you think, see, feel, do, taste, etc.,POPS into your head BE IT THE DOUBLE DECKER ON THE POETRY BUS or BE IT A DAGWOOD DOUBLE DECKER SANDWICH IN THE MORNING ABSOLUTELY THE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING!!! be honest! I MEAN THE FIRST THING YOU DO IN THE A.M. ABSOLUTELY THE FIRST THING!!!
and/or
2. Write a poem about the first song that POPS INTO YOUR HEAD IN THE MORNING. It could be your favourite song, or your least favourite song, or a song that keeps replaying over and over again in the breadbox. This is called an all-day EARWORM and you need to find a good dewormer. It is music in the making and over ripe for writing a poem about.
you may choose;
3. Something off the top of your head, I wont complain a bit. What ever turns your crank, makes your toast pop, gives zing to your zang. I dont feekin care (well maybe feekin might, if Paedar sees this he'll flip me the finger.). Ne'er you mind. Do your own thing, man!
And Remember:
DON'T GRUMBLE
AND don't grouse
All over the house
Or treat Your missus by yawnin'
You'll find it worth your while
To Give Her a Smile
When Gettin' Up in the Mornin'
Anonymous (unless you know who wrote this all time kitch art fav poem)
All On the Poetry Buses Passengers! Because this is an OLD BUS, I am afraid the Linky thingy is not invented as yet!
HAVE FUN FOLKS AND KEEP YOUR ARMS AND HEAD IN THE BUS GUS!
Coolio!!
ReplyDeleteNow I wonder how many days will pass in which I don't remember to remember the first thing that pops into my head? Except I KNOW the first thing, in this order: I have to go to the bathroom. Is it ALREADY time to get up? (Bad word).
ReplyDeleteWill think of something after yawnin' ...
ReplyDeleteWill be at the bus stop - shall start writing when I can get this wretched tune out of my head!
ReplyDeleteGreat prompts, Ms.C! There's a song worming its way through my ear right now, but I can't remember the words! ; )
ReplyDeleteAlways a song in my head...great prompts!
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be a great ride. I love the old double deckers. It's gotta be the top deck for me :)
ReplyDeleteI'm on the bus a tad early .... leaving town (on an airplane)for a week and didn't want to miss out!
ReplyDelete"Where did I leave my underpants?" "Are we at the terminus yet, Driver?" or "Hooray! Hooray! It's pension day!"
ReplyDeleteBut . . . great pair of prompts!
oops, forgot the linky thing hasn't been invented for your model bus ...

ReplyDeleteMy what a handsome fish you are.
ReplyDeleteThe sleepy 'action' in my humble offering takes place on the Isle of Skye. Hope the bus can find its way to misty Portree.
Here's my ticket. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteSomehow, I managed it! Phew!

Thanks for boarding...I guess everybody was so "itchin'" to get on the bus, so I had to think fast! Forgetting where I put the keys and a slight bit of embarasment that my bus was as fancy as Paedar's Eye in The Sky Ride plus the fact Mr. Linky automat refuses to take dagwood sandwiches for payment; I suppose it was a duller version of my INTENT and PURPOSES behind the FREE RIDE. Probably Fry-overload as my prompts and my pipes were burstin' from the fast food drive-through excessive grease I was using to Stoke on Kent the Old Bus. I wanted to be more edgy really I did Pae-da-r-darhling! Sorry I woke up Paedar; return to your Angry Young Man Scene, man! And Next time if the Paedy decides I should drive I promise to get a lot more "edgier" and pull a few wheelies around the Old Town. Fun nonetheless!(U had a bloomin' RIOT!)cHEERS! ps going to add a sidecar sidebar! Coming Soon!
ReplyDeleteCould've sworn I commented earlier! Hope there's still room!
