Some things we may only see
In a big city - London, for example
I saw such a thing....
A man in a manual push-wheelchair
And one-legged at that
In the middle of a very busy road
Going up to some cars
As they stopped for traffic lights
I don't know what he wanted
Begging? Knew someone in the car?
But he went up to more than one car
So he couldn't have know all the drivers at random
Very hazardous.....
Cars and buses and motor cycles about
Could have got run down or killed
Should I have approached him and warned him?
But in the middle of a very busy road
A zebra crossing was fairly nearby
But it all looked hair-raising to me
Hazardous enough even to reach him
In the middle of the road
Going up and down in his wheelchair
Some things we may only see
In a big city.....
I told you the one about
A man walking backwards with two bags of shopping
I presumed he was practising for
'The Annual 5 km Walking Backwards Race'!
But I didn't ask him
We were going in opposite directions

I told you to keep your eyes open didn't I ..
I think it is amazing what one might find anywhere if one only looks hard enough .. I enjoyed my visit here today .. Neville
I didn't ask him if that's how he lost a leg in the first place - standing among heavy traffic.
You entering that walking backwards race? I am of course. lol.
Why wouldn’t anyone warn of such things? Lol
Thanks GS. But - hazardous for me too, to get to him in the middle of the very busy road. Oops!
Nothing as strange as folk. That isn’t the long and winding road that the Beatles sang about is it? So straight. No traffic jams. Better than where I am:) Hope Monday has been a good one .
Thanks Cassie. Yep, I'm practising for the Backwards Race. lol.
Yup a lotta strange things
going on out there
everywhere, if you
think about it! 🤔
I think that dude was
begging for sure,
It's the in thing to
do these days.. 😔
Thanks for sharing!!
Best regards ✌️ Thad
