Sinister: bus stories

[Sam Norman]

a vey short bus story. this morning whilst i was the 358 on the way to 
the station, i decided that i would do somethng totally out of character. 
i waited until the drivers change and the garage at green st green (i 
don't know why i told you that as i doubt anyone knows where green st. 
green is) i pulled out of my back pocket, wait for it, a wad of salako 
stickers thye lovely katrina and david had given me at last nights gig. i 
then finally managed to pluck up the courage to stick on the back of the 
seat, for everyone to see.

B&S content: well it's more of a train story i suppose but after getting 
of the bus and getting the train to the smoke i was sat on the train next 
to a newe mother and her baby. well after about twenty minutes the baby 
being quiet the whole tome me listening to b&s on my walkman the woman 
tapped me on the sholder and said, "i'm terribly sorry, but i need to go 
to the toilet and i don't want to take my baby in there because there 
usually filthy so would you look after him?" a bit peturb i agreed - why 
choose me do i look as if i know one end from a baby to another. so the 
mother sat the baby on my lap. 

immediatley the baby started to cry. for his mother had abondoned him 
with some stranger with a red fleece. everyone on the train then looked 
round as if i was abusing this child so recently left in my care.

then a thought occured to me. my walkman still playing. the lovely isobel 
and her sweet harmonies singing is it wicked? so i decided that i would 
sing along to it to the baby. immediatly the baby stopped crying and now 
i guess is b&s's youngest fan. 

the mother still hasn't returned and the baby is now sitting on the 
workbench here as i type at uni. (a lie -  but it makes a rather sweet 
ending to the story i thought).

bye
