Three Little Bugs - 8x8

Three little bugs all in a row. I cannot believe my own eyes. Identical bugs all yellow - the same hue as lemon jello - just sitting there, each like a prize. Right now they have nowhere to go. V W Bugs! I must know - are their drivers women or guys? Nov. 10, 2018 Inspired by the 8x8 Contest of P.S Awtry and a sight I viewed the other day up the block from my street! Note: The W of VW is "double U" so three syllables. Some syllable counters just count it as one syllable and others as three, the way I pronounce it.

Maybe they're starting a new type of "yellow cab" company- all VW bugs! ;D Neat poem, Andrea!

Oh how cute is this Andrea, my dad used to have beetle cars, the original ones were much nicer than the new ones which are somewhat squashed in shape:-) Hugs Jan xx

Andrea, I was thinking "is she talking about real bugs" I have honestly never seen three Volkswagon Bugs all the same color parked next to each other unless they were on a car dealer's not. I am trying to picture it, and I have to know. Did you find OUT who was driving these little dolls?

yes, it was so rare to see three in a row like that. I guess maybe three daughters?? Or perhaps the mom and her two kids? I can't imagine a man wanting to drive them.
