Buses

my most recent (speed) sonnet topic suggested by androgynousandafraid

The bench is wet as both of us sit down Collapsing my umbrella, I say hi You just return my smile with a frown And stare with no emotion at the sky

I check my watch; you check your phone, and wait Anticipating warm and dry and bright But sitting here, now that it's getting late It's cold outside and almost without light

We spot a distant glow from down the street You start to stand, unsure if this is it A number becomes clear, and with defeat You walk back to the bench by me and sit

I often feel that I may go insane When waiting for my buses in the rain

Ode to Bagels

The bagel is a wondrous piece of bread

I don’t know where they come from, but they’re swell

A tasty treat for any with a head

And probably a mouth would help as well

  The bagel is quite wonderful when cut

For your convenience when you’re spreading spreads

Some think that bagels aren’t yummy, but

They’re really the most marvelous of breads!

  Use cream cheese, butter, lox, and many more

To make your bagel flavorful and nice

And getting bagels isn’t such a chore

When most sell for a reasonable price!

  So grab a bagel - what the heck - grab eight!

And realize what makes them truly great!

for armins-garments :)
