Sandra Haight Poet Limerick

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!

Barbara Barry-Nishanian March 16, 2018 at 11:26 PM 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 Sandra Haight March 17, 2018 at 9:57 AM Thank you for your visit and nice comment, Barbara. I sent you a Soup Mail regarding your question. Hugs, Sandra
