Standing at the bus stop one day.


Standing at the bus stop one day.

I was standing at the bus stop one day. I was waiting for a bus. Oddly, I was in a small crowd even after waiting five days for the bus. (Though they did smell a bit and were noisy and drank lots of cheap lead-free petrol.)

I think the bus was a little late.
I looked again at the bus schedule.

It was a bit burnt and in German.

Finally – I stopped a passer by that had passed me by almost a week long looking at me oddly.

‘Heil Hitler’ – I greeted her. Why no bus?

She replied – and, her English was better than mine -

‘This bus stop was bombed by the British in 1944 and in 2018, is only used by bums and tramps to sleep in.’

Oh!
