Politeness! ! ! Try find that on a public bus in the dead of Aussie summer... or on a crammed London tube! ! .. It exists.. but in small amounts... I dearly hope this was inspired by a real event of a woman that knows what she likes and what others don't.. gives me hope for packed public transport.. Wonderfully written, comical and provoking, greatly enjoyed :) take care, Mel xx

Very funny provocative piece of poetry Jerry! Very thought provoking and just full of imagery! LOL....I am sure you put a smile on everyones face reading this mostly cuz you don't expect the outcome or the poem to go that way for that matter... Great job Jerry.I look forward to reading more of your work soon...and I pray I never have the same experience on a bus...((Smile)) too funny. Keep up the great work................ =Shelley=
