Our Senior Bus Trips

On bus trips for seniors, we go to watch a film or music show with walkers or cane umbrellas for rain galoshes in case there is snow! Arrive and we waddle 'cross floor and meet our trip guide by the door we follow in pairs pray hard for no stairs just walking dead flat is a chore! The show now begins with our cheers we sit, fix the aids in our ears adjust them for sound yet music's still drowned by those snoring loud in arrears! February 27, 2018

I could recognize each aspect of your trip, funny and pathetic. Well deserved win. A question that may need to be answered in soup mail...but will someone explain standard...and...premiere? Is it how poem should be written, certain requirements I haven't learned? bbn

Thank you, Viv. We go on town bus trips quite often and they inspired my poem, but of course, I did exaggerate somewhat! :):) Sandra
