To the woman beside me on the train:
Yes, I know that this trip is an utter pain
That these seats are designed for a smallish sparrow
With the leg room short and the width so narrow
But you're wriggling and kicking as you twist about the place
Do you even know the meaning of the words "personal space"?
It's so crowded and noisy that like cattle we feel
And your actions make it worse, therefore I propose this deal:
If you 'accidentally' poke me with your elbow where I'm sitting
'Unwittingly' I'll jab you with the needle from my knitting.
Spleen vented. Thank you.
Ha, brilliant! and isnt it a shame our Britishness sometimes gets in the way of our comfort...
ReplyDeleteThat's great - what a perfect deal to make!
ReplyDeleteFantastic. This made me laugh out loud. Love the humour at the situation. Thanks
ReplyDeleteExcellent! I've met a few people on the bus I'd like to do this to.
ReplyDeleteLOLOL I prefer to seethe in silence as well...sometimes making a scene can make it worse. Someone has to take the high road. Brava.

ReplyDeleteClever, cute, and funny. I agree with your composure. What were you knitting?
