Gobsmacks, Bamboozles and Confuses Me

Why when waiting for a bus
You contemplate as time goes by
Should I walk and make no fuss
Will I be left here high and dry

So off you go
You start to walk
All on your own 
No one to talk
What’s that I hear, as sounds get near
Of buses driving fast
Then two by two as if to sneer
They do not stop 
they drive right past

Why is it 
when you diligently always pack a brolly
Where it stays rolled up and hiding 
at the bottom of your trolley
The sun will always shine each day 
from Mondays through to Sundays
But once there is no brolly 
at the bottom of your trolley
The rain comes down and soaks you
right through into your undies

And last of all that dreaded queue
So which one will you choose
Well you can always guarantee
As others pass you rapidly
That when you spy the till in sight
She closes up and says Good Night

From Eastbourne down to Arkansas 
Queues are the same 
It’s such a bore
There is a law that tells you why 
Without a brolly rain pours from the sky
And buses always come in twos 
To frustrate you get you confused

Sod is the reason
He made the law 
It’s known Worldwide 
It is Sod’s Law……

Good write Ann, yes we've all been there whether walk or wait for that late bus. Then the forecast is never correct, forget the umbrella too. Blessings,Gordon

Thank you Gordon, it happened to me only yesterday as after waiting past the scheduled time, two buses eventually came - one late and the other early, but you have to laugh or else you would cry, haha! Kindest thought Ann x
