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 Date: 8/31/2016 3:51:00 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.
