A loud, proud, lonely ride

[WeAreAllMutants]

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

[cycli]

so who is going to push when the pred. runs out?

[WeAreAllMutants in reply to cycli]

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

[cycli in reply to WeAreAllMutants]

hybrid is definitely the only way

What a clever piece! Extremely evocative!

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

What a lovely analogy! Thanks for sharing.

Big smile, just one thing - you are not on a lonely ride, we are all here with you. 😊

[WeAreAllMutants in reply to jinasc]

So true. Thank you and thanks to all the group - the support and knowledge sharing is wonderful. We are not alone.

[Nightingales]

You paint a perfect picture. I want to get off the bus!

[montebello]

Wonderful writing! Thank you

[York54]

A great analogy, perhaps a remap ! 😂😂😂

[Captainjonny]

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.

I love it. Thank you, Mutants
