Hop On Hop Off

Rozina

Hop on hop off

Come one come all

Hop on the bus

Let's roll the ball

 

First stop is SHOPS

Ladies get down

I'll drive your men

To pubs downtown

 

You're hungry now?

It's time for food

Try out that pub

Their grub's real good

 

Eat all you can

Good Yorkshire pudding

Forget waistlines

Today no slimming

 

The next due stop

Is a famous park

Soak in the beauty

It's not yet dark

 

You hear those chimes?

That's our Big Ben

He's been repaired

Looks better since then

 

Last stop but one

Thames sunset cruise

The water's calm

But watch your booze

 

The end has come

You get off here

Good night to you

Tomorrow again dear?

 

I read Teddy's London and earlier The Bus Ride by Buddy Roszy. As a tourist in London, I love walking or going on the bus to explore the city. But the first time I went with my family (16 of us), we saw and heard very little as we'd all fallen asleep on the upper deck after a long flight, the time difference, cool spring breeze and the droning voice of the tour guide!

      Thank you.

      A wonderful scene you've written here Rozina, I love the subtle comedy within the stanzas as the journey progresses.

      I hope that you have another wondrous bus ride soon.

      Bravo, and I hope that all is well!

      • Rozina

        Thank you. Yes, I’d love to go to London/UK again soon.

      • Paul Bell

        That's the benefit of busing, there's a pub at every stop. Big Ben is on the left, the Red Lion is on the right.
        Ok, stuff Big Ben. lol

        • Rozina

          Haha you are right. Many pubs around.

        • Rozina

          Have not heard of that tour company Shanks pony. I see the red or blue double decker tourist buses being used the most. I love the markets and the parks best of all.

          • Rozina

            Hahaha, I’ve never heard that expression before. I’ve learnt something new. Thank you. Good night.
