The Free Bus Across Country

It's one of the plus's of living in Scotland
if you are over the 60 plus age band
travel is free from John O'Groats to Dumfries
giving one the opportunity having a free hand

In a land like Scotland full of great scenery
rugged mountainside and lochs so deep
surrounded by oceans east and west
the Atlantic and the North Sea are a mighty leap

So, my favourite trips are to Inverness and Perth
also love Dunfermline, Andrew Carnegie's town
Edinburgh the capital with its wonderful castle
many lovely places in the borders to be found

Being brought up in the county of Ayrshire
I love to go back and walk Irvine's beach
also back to Kilmarnock bring the memories back
there my home town kept me on the right track

So the buses with its many numbers
taking us over 60s far and near
deckers single and double all for free
blessed trips always forever in top gear

If they had that here Gordon I'd be out everyday. No pass here until you're 66, Enjoy you're travels and I know what beautiful scenery you have up there. Hope you're well. Tom
