First let me inform
1947 I was not born
This poem involves a 1947 Silversides bus that was designed in that year
Now let me preserver
As a Bus Hobbyist
The Silversides is history on every list
It was the 1960’s when my Godmother ran a Charter trip to the Dutch Country, which you know them as the Amish in Pennsylvania
It was a Red and Silver design
It looked like a Trailways fleet
But for me the bus was unique
The Silversides was the Motor coach kind
I actually rode being genuine
There was no Restroom aboard
There was Air Conditioning, but it was the season of spring on a mild day so the Air Conditioning wasn’t needed
I was enjoying riding the Silversides being a Vintage of history
I was given the opportunity to ride a bus having a past
The evolution of time that accelerated fast
But my name is on the 1947 Greyhound Silversides housed at the Greyhound Bus Museum in Hibbing, Minnesota
So I will always be reminded of vintage
The opportunity surrounding privilege
Bus Education giving me leverage
