Viv Wigley Poet Rhyme

School Bus Trip

If there's one thing that is bound to alienate
school chums who to you like to gravitate
it's sudden outbursts of malignant gas
though transitory, take a while to pass.
Capricious friends now call you inurbane
the mood has gone much flatter on the bus,
I tell them all it will soon dissipate,
open a window, stop making a fuss.
Perspicuous is my blame, I make them see
the scapegoat is the boy sat next to me.

Daniel Turner August 31, 2016 at 3:51 PM This is hilarious, Viv. Great use of 10 not so frequently used words. Your humor rates about a 10. I can't believe how few people there are that actually read and comment on poems. This one deserves to be read. Viv Wigley September 1, 2016 at 1:02 AM Thanks, Daniel, and may I say that you have impeccable taste :)
