Tfawcus,
All aboard the double decker in England. What a wonderful ride I had when up top viewing London in the 70's.
Still recall the excitement of climbing to the top and swinging my hat in the air as people passed by. Crazy American they shouted..but they waved back.
Good job with this.

Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear Tony, what an imaginative idea this is, to see us folks on this planet, as the people on a double decker bus. Thank you for the invitation to come aboard.
I would definitely like a seat next to you, if only for an hour or two, Just to hear your opinion on the things we see as we pass by.

Thanks for your review of this micro-poem, Suzanna. Good of you to drop by. My memories of London are getting a bit hazy now. It's been more than fifty years since I lived there. All the best, Tony

Now wouldn't it be nice if we all got on the bus and learned to get along? I like this 20 word poem, Tony. It has a charm about it that I cannot explain. Blessings and thanks for sharing. Bob

Thanks for your review of this micro-poem, Valda. Good of you to drop by. I didn't realise double-deckers had been imported here for a while. All the best, Tony

Comment from Shirley McLain
I like your poem as well as the presentation. Your syllable count is correct. I saw no errors. You did a great job. Do you have double-decker buses in Australia? We don't have any here in the states that I've seen. You did a great job. Shirley

Thanks for your review of this micro-poem, Shirley. Good of you to drop by. No double-deckers here either, though I'm told that there used to be a few in Adelaide years ago, imported as a curiosity. All the best, Tony

What an upbeat little poem, nice simile. It's the kind of thing we all need right now. Best of luck in the 20 syllable contest and congratulations on being recognized.

Comment from Eternal Muse
Tony, I loved it!
You packed volumes in these three lines. Comparing life's journey to an omnibus was clever. It looks like this photo was taken in London, if I am not mistaken.
Excellent write. It should do very well in the contest, good luck in the books.

Thanks for your review of this micro-poem, Yelena. Good of you to drop by. Yes, an iconic and ubiquitous form of transport in London still. It's a while since I've seen one. All the best, Tony

Comment from Ulla
Hi Tony, this is a clever twenty words' poem. It had me smile, actually. Yes, you could certainly say that life is like a trip on an omnibus which is made for our use. Good one. I liked it. Good luck. Ulla:)))
