Bus driver let me off 90p today
He felt like a benevolent god
I counted thirteen individuals on the top deck - seven visible phones
Five women
Six men
Two point four children

The lady in the blue jeans
Sat in the beer garden felt me watching
She flicked her hair to that
I can feel you watching angle

At the roundabout the blond in the ford
Looks nervous
Dark street lane
Is double named

That was bang out of order
She's still running
Wonders what the acceptable term is for boss eyed
Crossing the chalk stream
Hand car wash
Past the cycling lycra carrying baked goods

Cheers then driver

The baying gulls they laugh at me
The sea breeze makes me ill
The pasty man shout fresh today
I think I've had my fill

The graceful gulls they swoop and flock
To greet me with a shriek
To stir me in the morning
To sing me off to sleep

Mais t'es beau la
Sur la plage
Les cheveux des orages
Les pieds dans les vagues
Le sel partout
Rien a faire

T'es beau la
Rien a faire

Fire at playland
Two fire engines
In attendance
Great fun

Carnival week
Comprised of the ever popular
Pram race, a resounding success, once again
In spite of adverse weather conditions

Tributes to the late great
Popeye rolled along the
Main strip

An eleven foot Guy Fawkes looms
Over the tarmac
A tractor towed lifeboat leads
The way

An array of competitive twirling troops
Dampen the mood

Fire at playland
Two fire engines
In attendance
Great fun

Ted took off
Propelled up up up and
away

He left Jean making loose leaf tea
A garden of neat lawns
Vibrant roses
A bottle hidden in a cupboard
A perfectly parked car

He and his boys were once asked
To turn their backs, avert their eyes
While atomic bombs were tested

Jean sold ice creams
At the pictures

Ted took her dancing
They never stopped
Joe Jul 2017
The park is full of sheep-dogs
Who have been retired for generations
A drunken bench dweller
Offers a freshly married couple
His congratulations

Mazda, le chanteur fou
Fais tres attention a les francais
Lire Balzac    / franchement
Fais tres attention a la *******

Slow Joe of Place Sathonay
Roadside raconteur with a previous wife
Watches the afternoon's petanque
From eyes in the wall

Apéro chez Yves
Towards place de jacobins I weave
On parle à batons rompus
You envy me, I envy you
Les yeux honnêtes de votre femme
Invite me in to join her clan
Du piano vous tirez la voix de Brahms
I recline, completely charmed
C'est aussi doux que vous, ce muscadet
No finer way to pass a day
Qu'un apéro chez Yves
