Loveless Funny Bus

Well, it's Monday and that means it Poetry Bus day. A highlight of my week :)

Mr Oub is off in the USA on business - poor him. meh. - and I've been left minding the animals my darling children. I will survive, but I imagine I will be a pale shadow of my former self by the time he returns.

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.
