Why do I get lumbered with a nutcase on the bus? I’m craving peace and quiet, so I won’t make a fuss. But I don’t want to hear about his toenail collection, or that he must take Viagra to maintain his ********! Oh crikey, he doesn’t need it - he’s ‘rising’ in his seat, and making lewd suggestions I’d better not repeat! I gather up my shopping and make a false excuse, I’d forgotten to get cat food for my pussy Bruce. So I make a hasty exit, although it’s not my stop, I’m in dire need of Valium from the chemist shop! Next time I travel on the bus, I’ll feign I’m fast asleep, and pray I’m not joined by any foul mouthed creep!

Jan Jan Jan. Good Morning. Humor and smiles is just what the doctor ordered for all. It was a great way to start the morning with fluff and stuff. I found this entry adorable. And yes, your title alone is hilarious to which led me to open the page. Thank you for sharing. Have a great morning and weekend. Blessings always (smile)

Gosh, Jan...I hope you keep a canister of Mace handy. If this is a recounting of a real experience, I'm so sorry for you. Sometimes there's just no accounting for the vicissitudes of the human race.

OhmigoodnessJan! I hope that didn't really happen to you! You can meet some weirdos on the bus though. I waws riding the bus once and a drunk kept trying to talk to me and tell me how he knew my whole family and that I belonged to a well known French family in town. CRAZY! I'M ITALIAN! Good write my friend. God Bless, JB

Nutcase is the title of the day(TOTD). What a great word and use of it in your poem. Too funny!

Jan Allison
Date: 7/24/2023 5:21:00 PM

lol thanks David, was fun writing it - mainly fictional lol:-) hugs Jan xx

What is there to say. There is a costly solution. Book two seats one for a giantthem teddy bear they can talk to or an AI to accompany you. I have worked with them all, the most dangerous are the ones who bear grudges over little things The news here is about our Minister of Justice and her breakdown. Trust your instincts life experience and do your best not to appear a threat. Different for men but still dangerous as far as lost souls or no souls are concerned. Think poetry and stay safe David

thanks David... I will stick to being in the car with hubby much safer! I seldom use public transport ... and the poem is pretty much fiction except i do attract nutters sitting by or near me lol:-) hugs Jan xx

Jan I’ve met some nutcases on buses over the years I was at work. When sitting on the inside seat what are you to do when some creep presses his thigh into yours and they look straight ahead as if nothing is wrong. Great poem… Belle

Jan Allison
Date: 7/24/2023 3:34:00 PM

Its most uncomfortable in so many ways Belle, and i guess you just have to move seats if at all possible and I've had my fair share of nutters sit next to me lol . I started this poem some months ago and although I had my own seat I was inspired by a bloke talking very loudly and repeating himself to his mate about toe nails lol and once i started to write the other ideas formed lol:-) I actually finished the poem yesterday and edited it again tonight as I'd been to a funeral and needed to smile! hugs jan xx

Well done, Jan! It is ridiculous the words that PS feels the need to asterisk while letting others slip by. Boggles the mind!

Jan Allison
Date: 7/24/2023 1:41:00 PM

yes I agree Ilene pussy used to be starred now its allowed lol:-) hugs jan xx

Jan Allison
Date: 7/24/2023 12:58:00 PM

Lin Lane
Date: 7/24/2023 12:23:00 PM

why bother? It's a Jan Allison poem.

Jan Allison
Date: 7/24/2023 11:48:00 AM

need more than an asterisk to camouflage it to be honest lol lol

Lin Lane
Date: 7/24/2023 11:23:00 AM

Yep, and those asterisks don't camouflage a thing.

Jan Allison
Date: 7/24/2023 11:21:00 AM

shame i can't write bawdy on the title but so be it. I may add it when the contest has closed x

Jan Allison
Date: 7/24/2023 11:17:00 AM

lol Lin - amazing I can now write pussy without it being starred but it won't accept erection lol. You know I don't have a cat that's the irony of course - total fictional poem ... maybe lol hugs jan xx
