iBus


innit bad boys at the back of the bus
acting all leery acting all tough
they shout blondie you wanna go on this
i think they got wiggle worm for penis
‘coz ain’t them dickheads they ain’t got a clue
being gutter rats ain’t how to get drew
and they chav dressed gold chain bling and adidas
hoods up yeah blud chatting cockney patois
call me stuck up ‘coz i iz got a book
nah i iz cool rimmel the london look
oi blondie come to daddy for big luv
his m8 says you iz getting nuffin bruv
i get off at forest gate two stops time
start downstairs oi darlin come back to mine
them in bliss innit what ignorance iz
with doing all their thinking with them fists
innit sad boys at the back of the bus
mouthing off can’t take ‘em that serious

you continue to to be marvelous
so controlled
so relaxed
You move across the page and through the form like a white haired fencer wearing boat shoes who touche's all who take the piste opposite him

reading you makes me consider trying to be a better composer
I may need to return to drink

iReal, for realz.

"wiggle worm for penis"<--makes me laugh every time.

Last line "that" makes it weirdly proper all of a sudden, like an implied "seriously".

How about omitting it? It preserves meter that way; nixes the extra beat.

You paint a clear picture of the lads, be easier to read if you used quotation marks.

Very nice. Have to fake my way through the Brit slang, but I'm getting there. The more I read from you the more I like. Keep 'em comin'!

I do not know most of the slang, but I like the fact that you used it here. Gives the piece a point of reference and puts the reader in the writer's shoes. Very well done.

Thank you most kindly to everyone.

The form, rhyme, all not my usual thing so very much a w.i.p.

In the past I’ve been very successful without using punctuation or capitals and I suppose that’s a part of me I want to hang onto. Tis a challenge within the restraints of the form, granted, but it’s also good to step outside your comfort zone or you end up just writing the same stuff over and over again, and I would really hate to do that.

Once again, thank you all.

Bless
