Is
everyone caught up in GO Transit’s week of romance? Not only is there Love on the GO, but
there is special
signage on the buses, too.
Has your driver turned down the interior lights to enhance the ambiance?
Now,
I’m a little old school when it comes to Valentine’s Day. (Okay, I’m old. Period.)
I told the ladies behind the wheel on Route 12 I thought reducing
sentiments to a hashtag is just … wrong.
Where’s the effort in that? One
doesn’t need to be completely original, but c’mon. With some assistance from Google and YouTube,
and a few minutes over lunch hour, I tossed together the following offering.
First,
queue
the music (not too loudly, though). Okay, all together now …
I
got lumps in my throat
When
I saw her comin' down the line
I
got the wiggles in my knees
When
she looked at me and sweetly smiled
There
she is again, standin’ over by her green machine
Takin’
a pause, and sippin’ on her Tim’s caffeine
She's
lookin’ so glam, like a model in a magazine
Meanwhile,
I was thinkin' …
My
PRESTO’s good, I better not break it
She’s
got her crew, I oughta take it
We’re
down 20, but we can make it
C'mon
Queenie, let's shake it!
on the Queen E. on the Queen E.
Tell
me who's the queen standin' by her green machine
Takin’
a pause, and sippin’ on her Tim’s caffeine
She's
lookin’ so glam, like a model in a magazine
Meanwhile,
I was still thinkin' …
If
it's a 12-speed, we'll skip it
If
it's a decker, well, we'll take it
And
if it's fast, she'll admit it
C'mon
Queenie, let's get with it!
on the Queen E. on the Queen E.
(Apologies
to Chuck Berry)
Happy
Valentine’s Day ladies! No hashtag.
Ian Cognito.
ReplyDeleteI found that rather amusing.
And I thank you for brightening our crappy winter day
