    Magpies

Four on a bus –
double seats facing,
chatter like magpies
making a fuss.

Try not to listen
to so many words
whilst watching four pretty ones
dainty as birds.

Try to remember –
half understand –
what it was like
to be part of a band.

The topic is shopping,
"Top Shop" seems to win,
The best occupation.
Not shopping's a sin.

Money's no object,
They go for the best.
Chattering brightly
puts  friendship to test.

They are clubbing this evening,
Some kind of hop.
Oh dear; what a nuisance,

                                                                            I've gone past my stop.

                                                                                               Joyce Harrington
