Vera Duggan Poet Rhyme

Betty the Motor Bus

Betty was a Motor bus
She was the smartest ever seen
Painted in a scarlet red
With pretty wheels of khaki green

Life was dull for Betty bus
She ran the same route every day
Then Betty had a great idea
She turned and drove the other way

So then one wintery afternoon
She decided she would play a tune
How her shoppers laughed with glee
They made Betty a busy bee

So, when one day your sad, or glum
Or life becomes a bore
Then come aboard old Betty's bus
You'll want to ride her more and more

Keep them coming. oldbuck Vera Duggan January 1, 2018 at 9:40 PM You are right Old Buck, I love writing childrens poems as my young granddaughter loves them and as you say we all need a Betty's Bus in our lives, thank you so much and take care......Vera

Emile Pinet April 1, 2017 at 12:51 PM This is well written and pleasurable poem to read. The story line flows smoothly and sets the pace for this poem. The theme is maintained throughout the poem and the imagery is great appealing to all the senses with equal potency. Emile. Vera Duggan April 2, 2017 at 12:39 AM Hi Emile, thank you so much for visiting my page and leaving this delightful comment, when I wrote this it reminded me of the big red buses in London which I rode on many times and I thought it must be quite boring for the driver going over the same route every day, hope you are well, take care.....Vera

Robert Johnson March 28, 2017 at 11:51 AM Hello Vera, first of all, say hi to Peter. :) This reminds me of George on Seinfeld when he decided to do the opposite of what came natural. I'm kind of at a place like that myself these days. All those years culminating to arrive at this place and time to take another step in faith. Direction, who knew, that was all it took to make the trip worth the ride. :) Thanks for visiting. I have to read another now, you have got my attention. :) Vera Duggan March 28, 2017 at 11:17 PM Hi Robert, we don't watch Seinfeld but I know exactly what you mean, sometimes Peter goes the opposite of what comes natural by the way he said Hi, he is still writing but he gets a bit fed up with commenting sometimes but he will be back it is only a matter of time, thank you so much for the visit and take care........Vera
