"What was your favourite way to travel?" asked
the cards I bought to prompt my memory
but as I've said, the lack money tasked
us walking two-plus miles to shops, you see.
Thus I got well used to Shanks' Pony
though took the bus the seven miles to school
with bus pass issued by a council crony
who treated claimants like a peasant fool.
We went by train for fortnights in the summer
from Birmingham to Newcastle and back
with orange squash and Beano comic Bumper
and egg and chips for tea at Nana's flat.
My favourite view remains a comfort giver:
seeing Tyne Bridge as we cross the river
