Transport Troubles. (A bit of nonsense)

My camper and my little car sit out there in the drive.

Glaring at each other as they wonder which I'll ride.

"I'm better in the winter", said the cheeky little car,

"I've got a better heater and am cheaper than you are.

I never want to drink as much and petrol is the best.

You're noisy and a diesel, so you stay there and rest."

"But you don't have a bathroom", the camper grunted back.

"Or a bed or cooker and long distances can't hack.

Midge and little Dolly would rather ride in me,

Because they sit up higher and it's easier for them to see".

"And furthermore when we go out and have a nice long roam.

Poor Don would never get a sleep until he got back home".

I listened to this going on and on, then did what most I like.

Ringing my bell as I passed them,.......going out on my bike!

Haha this really resonates me (made my husband laugh too) as we have a camper and a car sitting in the drive! But I'm afraid it's the car that wins here every time. It's way too cold for me to brave the camper in the winter Brrrrrr....

[Hidden in reply to UHelga]

Let us hope we get a nice warm early Spring, eh? 🚐

[UHelga in reply to Hidden]

Definitely. Keeping fingers crossed!

[Hacienda]

Oh , This made me Smile from ear To ear. very Good. Is it a Raleigh Bike ? I think they talk also. Oh my Imagination runs away with me. ha ha xxxx

[Katinka46]

Just don’t forget which fuel to put in them. My daughter-in-law has just told me that she put petrol rather than diesel in their camper. Hmmmm.... a pricy mistake.

K xxx

[Hidden in reply to Katinka46]

Oh dear, very costly. I’ve been a diesel buying man since the pumps used to be out in the lorry parking area in the rain whilst petrol buyers where under shelter. So I would be more likely to try to put diesel in my petrol car which is not possible.🚗⛽️

[ScouseTaffy]

Loved it.

My plan on retirement was to buy a campervan and zoom off. Health problems and arthritis prevented this. I got rid of my car as my legs swelled with lymphoedema and I couldn't get in.

2019 is different, since having my diagnosis of respiratory failure things have greatly improved and I'm currently looking for a suitable car for me and my mobility scooter!

Maybe I'll write an ode about it but meanwhile I'll enjoy yours. As the Welsh say fank 🐑

[Hidden]

Think carefully about that motor. Getting a small campervan that will fit in normal parking space, with a blue badge, plus a walking frame or such, will get you nearer to your original retirement plan. My mobility scooter is hardly ever used, I only have to look at it and it starts to rain ☔️ making it useless. Just a thought.

[Izb1]

Bringggg, bringggg love it x

[WheezyAnne]

[majji]

This is your unofficial proofreader Cap'n - just wondering if you would consider changing "past" to "passed" ?

[Hidden]

Excellent!! I can sea I have chosen wisely. 🧐

[majji in reply to Hidden]

In my estimation you are indeed The Bard of BLF!
