In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day. The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-) Practice makes perfect.....post on....

Every day we shove and push
To be the first on the short bus
Xsmommy, hobbes and dubs
Wetbars, closets and beer tubs
If you really think you’re strong
Maybe you can ride along
I don’t want to cause no fuss
But here it is – the new Short Bus!

Short bus, short BUS
Short bus, short BUS

Bet you things don’t get too far
Before camle’s got a new cigar
Argh is running for his life
From ending up with the ex-wife
Gabz is getting far from fat
Swimming round in the beer vat
There’se no rules, and there’s no muss
Ridin’ on this here Short Bus

Short bus, short BUS
Short bus, short BUS


Singing:

WotsamoddaU hey,
Gotta no respect, whatta you think you do,
Why you looka so sad?
It's-a not so bad, it's-a nice-a place,
Ah, Shaddap You Face.


Well, I don’t know why I came here today
I got the feeling that things ain’t goin my way.
I’m so scared in case I fall up the stairs
And that noise th only thing I can hear
Hobbes to the left of me, XS to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.

Yes, I’m stuck in thecloset with you,
And I’m wondering what it is I should do.
It’s so hard to setup Argh with my ex,
like some people only are about sex.
Hobbes to the left of me, XS to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.

Well, you started off with learning,
And you find yer stomach’s turnin’ man.
And your friends they all come crawlin’,
Swim in the beer vat and say, “Please, please.”

Trying to make martini’s for all,
But I can see nobody’s drinkin at all.
Is it cool to go to chomp on a big cigar?.
Poor Gus is out polishing the car
Hobbes to the left of me, XS to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.

Well, you started off with learning,
And you find yer stomach’s turnin’ man.
And your friends they all come crawlin’,
Swim in the beer vat and say, “Please, please.”

Well, I don’t know why I came here today

I’m so scared in case I fall off the stairs
And that noise th only thing I can hear
Hobbes to the left of me, XS to the right,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.

Yes I’m, stuck in the closet with you,
Stuck in the closet with you,
Here I am, stuck in the closet with you.

And if she should tell you "School’s Open"
And if she tempts you with her words

Bella Bru Bru Bru Bru Bru-Bru-Bru-Bru
Bru Bru Bru Bru Bru-Bru-Bru-Bru
Bru Bru Bru Bru Bru
Don't post right now for her words belong to me

And when Rika said “help! Take over!”
Bella stepped up to the plate

Bella Bru Bru Bru Bru Bru-Bru-Bru-Bru
Bru Bru Bru Bru Bru-Bru-Bru-Bru
(just use her word for today)
Bru Bru Bru Bru Bru
Post now for all your bases (are) belong to me

I know she's the kind of girl
Who'd smoke a big cigar
But I still post for her
Don’t flirt with her, don’t go too far

If she tells you "School’s Open"
Just remember she said that to me

Bella Bru Bru Bru Bru Bru-Bru-Bru-Bru
Bru Bru Bru Bru Bru-Bru-Bru-Bru
(just use the word for today)
Bru Bru Bru Bru Bru
Don't leave FR, but her love belongs to me…J

[Bella_Bru]
