A loud, proud, lonely ride

She's rickety, an old yellow school bus no one knows how to fix

With loose, rattling seats

A freed bolt vibrating on the metal floor

Rattling loud and groaning, a teeth clenching ride

It's the prednisone in the gas that keeps her running

And even though she ain't what she used to be

She's my only means of transportation

Down the road I'm looking at an adrenal hybrid upgrade with regenerative braking(!) and a new coat of paint.

What a clever piece! Extremely evocative!

Hopefully it won’t be too long before you are writing about the old jalopy being fixed 😄.

Really enjoyed reading that. We're all in the queue for the hybrid (and, we're good at queue-ing in England!). Hang in there.

Stay off the bypass and use B roads, the A roads and bypass would need AA if you break down.
