The Ugly Buggies and Buses Too

Seeing the VW bugs and buses around town reminds me of an era when people learned to shift gears (I never did and I was from that era).

Dedicated to Benny Holt and Linda Selke

No the tops not down

It’s not there

 

Keeping the children entertained

Remember punch buggy

Defensive tactics?

See a VW, punch in the arm

And punch back for punching in the arm

“Mommy, he punched me in the arm”

Oops another punch buggy…..Just punch

Him harder, dear

 

I remember Dad teaching my brother

To shift gears, stall here, jerk there

Say a prayer….

Buses and bugs, psychedelic flowers

No power

Side of the road for an hour

Til someone towed it home

 

Ben’s bus reminds me of surfer days

When woodies went out of style

Surf board on top, tied down

It won’t drop

Famous last words.
