Blurb I'm very frustrated with TFL (Transport for London), so I thought I'd vent my frustrations through poetry.

TFL Hell

1. TFL Hell

 

Buses to me are like rubbish TV,

Time-wasting, drab and dirty,

I'd rather take the car,

Than travel so far,

On a smelly, red, vessel of acidity. 

 

Last week after boarding the bus,

An Inspector accused me of cheating,

He said, "You're a fare dodger",

" A pirate, a jolly Roger",

Indignant, I argued whilst beating,

 

My fist repeating and repeating,

 

"I'm not".  "I swiped my Oyster card"

"Check with the driver, or Scotland Yard".

"Do I look like the sort of person to avoid paying my fare?"

"Do I look like the sort of person who cares?"

Was that a rhetorical question? Asshole!

  • moomin98This is great! I really love the layout, your description is very good and this is refreshingly new and original. I really admire this style because you pull this off really well and I can completely relate as a Londoner and a frequenter of TFL. Great work, I would really like to see more from you! Sorry I couldn't provide much constructive criticism, there is nothing much that needs to be changed. I would love to see this develop, but it is excellent at the moment. Keep writing!
    LooktoyourpathThanks a lot. I was just so frustrated and found some satisfaction in writing about it:-) I think it has a performance element to it. Will keep on writing.
