B15 replacement

I ‘ad jus’ such a hunch
It was gonna be one of them rum ones
As i set to the bus station
And the B15 had only gone and been replaced
By a flippin’ stegasarus
Can ya believe jus’ such a disgrace?
”Ow am i meant to ride betwixt ‘is osteoderms?’ I asked
To not such as a mumbled reply
‘This bloody bus service is coprolite’
I shouted to anyone who passed me by

    All poems should end with this line:”I shouted to anyone who passed me by”🤣

    Why replaced with Stegosaurus? Because it is called the dumbest dinosaur?

    Very interesting and innovative take.

      Because i like dinosaurs. Never heard of stegosaurus being the dumbest. No particular reason, other than a pre historic dinosaur in a bus station is strange. Plus stegasaruses are notoriously hard to ride because of their spiney backs which is a kind of commentary on the state of public transport, especially if you use a wheelchair.

    Matt, this is delightfully ridiculous — and very you. The dialect, the bus-stop grumbling, the fossil pun — it all clicks!
