A Bus Ride

A Bus Ride I took the bus into town today its passengers were mostly elderly, old women and generally fat as women of the land tend to be, busy feeding the family they spend too much time in the kitchen yes, I was the oldest but would not like to have slept with any of them and according to their lack of interest in me, it was mutual. That is ok; they are good at putting flowers on graves. I was not buying much just wanted to get out of the house I will be moving there it`s good to know where the cheapest lunch cafes are situated, that`s where the Portuguese bank staff and workers go both groups are equally bad paid. Going home three hours later the same women on board they were animated had bought skirts, blouses, and shoes at the Chines shop less than half the price of ordinary shops theirs had been a good day.
