i found a second hand cough
wrapped up in a tissue
on the bench
at the bus stop
i left it
i've four of my own
at home
my teddy bear
needs new contacts
according to the linen press
i knew he looked funny
but i thought
that was all me
while i was on the bus
i gave my seat
to a pensioner
lucky i had a spanner
in my pocket
the last two nuts
were really hard
the vet said my dog
had hard nuts
that’s why he walked funny
not funny ha ha
but funny more like tatty bunny rabbit slippers
i alighted the bus jerk joke less
i thought to myself for a second
why am i at another bus stop?
i own a perfectly good automobile
i like cats
i am concerned now
in order to not be here
i need another bus
but that
will just take me

to :
1. Nudy Bar
2. Velvet Art Store
3. A pastoral existence
4. Bus stop
(number two would be sweet
- fuzzy glow in the dark Elvis poster
no googly eyes on that bad boy)
but no
a bus stop
i think i'll walk
