About This Poem

Twirly

Tram stops Old lady asks "Am I twirly?"
Conductor looks up tram and shakes his head
On she gets and on we go

As a young lad on the way to school
I often wondered how old one had to be
To be Twirly

Three stops on the way were always empty
Three stops in a row
Trams all stopped

The area was bombed out
No complete houses stood
No one ever asked why they stopped

It made me proud to ride
With folks like that
Twirly or not

    Interesting perspective with a twist of wit. Sad situation in stanza 4. Thank you for sharing this poem with us. Keep on writing. Karen
