555


 dverse: 55FFF

he caught the wrong bus
555 is the bus to nowhere
389 is the bus to somewhere
except it feels like nowhere
no matter where it ends up

so you may as well walk 
go for a surf, eat pork sausages
date blondes, drink booze,
play country hick music

  2. Sausages and booze most definitely, country hick misic maybe, blondes? Well if Mrs N isn't watching, perhaps. Surf? No. The Newbery's spent 300 million years crawling out of the sea. I have no desire to visit the relatives.

    1. Gosh your side of the family really are plodders 300 million years ...blimey! My lot are noted for taking short cuts. We were formerly extra terrestrials (singing angels with harps sitting on clouds) got kicked off and fell to earth... put on our wet suits and hit the surf! Singers and swimmers...that's us. I'm not blonde (at the moment) so you are safe schweetie:)

  3. Ha, every bus is the right bus to somewhere and the wrong bus to somewhere else, but then again going for a surf sounds like an even better alternative than either.

  4. We in the country like to listen to a song about a bus that doesn't go where you want to go: The Bus Don't Go to Coconut Stone (http://www.rolandmajeau.com/lyrics.html).

    Nice piece although we'll talk about music one day! ha ha

  6. Oh my God. This sounds like the good old U S of A I recently left behind.Only without the bomb-dropping flying robots, gangs and prisons. ;-)

  7. Bienvenue! Ca va? So glad you popped in .I'll be over tomorrow to see how your French experience is going.I will give you my address and you scan send me crates of champagne and patisserie:)
    No we are not American yet. There is more of a surreal Monty Python madness Down Under eg our future
    Prime Minister wants to buy all the fishing boats in Indonesia so that they cannot use them to come to Australia illegally.It would be hilarious except people will actually vote for this mad person.

    If you want to follow my blog you have to scroll down to the end of the photos on the right hand side .

  11. You know that bus goes to nowhere and everywhere is nowhere at times. Good realisms in your write.

  12. Sort of like the Knight Bus in Harry Potter. I like my chances walking, boozing, hanging out with other blond gals, and living the good life. Well done here. Enjoyed much!

  13. I have never read Harry Potter... a few chapters - and I did take my kids to a few of the movies. My kids threaten to tie me down and make me read and watch it. Ha. A bus to nowhere... it SOUNDS like a country song :)
