Mr Oub is off in the USA on business - poor him. meh. - and I've been left minding
Because of these tremendously trying circumstances, I wasn't sure I would have time to hop on the bus this week. But at the last moment the screaming hordes shut up for five minutes and I was able to convene an emergency meeting with the muse and produce a little offering.
It is Argent who is driving the bus again this week. The task was -
Excursion to the Comedy Store
Now we all know comedy is not easy to do, but I know from past experience that there are some seriously (sic!) funny people out there. Dust off your tickling sticks, put that water-squirting flower in your lapel, strap on your handshake buzzer and let's make with the funny!
Tunnel of (unrequited) Love
We had the slushy Valentine's stuff earlier this year, but it's not always easy to love and not be loved in return. What's it like when that certain special somebody doesn't even know you exist (it's called stalking - Ed). Are they with someone else? Are you jealous? Come and share the bittersweetness with your bus-travelling friends.
I am hoping that I have managed to go on both Poetry Bus journeys this week.
My Unrequited Lover
My love was unrequited.
You just didn't feel the same
But the kisses still got you excited
my conflicted former flame.

If I happen to run into someone with an Irish accent, I'll assume it's Mr. Oub and buy him a pint.
I like this Oub, nice rhythm to it, deffo ticks both boxes too
Hey DA - when you run into him, remind him he's not allowed go to Hooters. I don't care if he goes there just for the articles...
Thanks Niamh :)
Hehe! Looks like you have a good meeting with the muse then!
Yay! Short, funny and great last line.
I'm with you on the animals.
Short and sweet can't be bad! :)
Like it. Complicated feelings - but straight to the point.
LOVE this, D.O! Thanks.
Short and sweet (very) and funny (very!)
I do so love short poems with punch. Yours is great and also a perfect short stop in my bus tour this early morning!
"my conflicted former flame" is such a thoughtful one...too good...:)

Yes, conflicted ties everything up and provides the explanation!

lovely bit of 'effin' alliteration in 'conflicted former flame'
