Tony,

What a fun rhyming pair in 'omnibus' and 'all of us'! Delightfully unexpected. hahaha

You syllable count is just right -- and the message is very cool. I mean, ever since Rosa Parks, everyone is equal on public conveyances. Unless -- you are just LOOKING for moments of racism. You often find the things you are looking for. --sigh--

Thanks for a smart one that made me think a bit. Good luck and Hugs-

A very well-written twenty syllable poem about life that is like an omnibus that offers transportation to everyone who wants to ride in it wherever their destination will be.

    You are very welcome, Tony. I was going to comment that I liked the description on the omnibus about the Magical History Tour!

Hello Tony, clever use of twenty syllables giving a good message. These forms are not easy but this is well written without sounding contrived to meet the requirements of this form. Nice Picture of a good old London bus. Good luck in the contest. Regards Dorothy x

How clever and cute. A great message as well, that there is room on the bus for all of us, so let's all get together. I've always wanted to ride on one of those busses. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the contest.

You've used the double meaning of 'transport' to effect. Life's not a free ride; there'll always be those who want the top deck for a better view, with the others jammed in on the lower seats.

(I see we're off to Tower Hill - I hope we don't get locked up or beheaded.)

I like how you rhymed (or near rhymed) the first two lines. We don't have much say in life what class or type of transportation we will be placed in but we can board with a positive attitude! Best wishes in the contest!

What a delightful entry in the twenty word poem contest. Effortlessly charming (at least you've made it seem so.) The rest of us need to look to our laurels. The best of luck in the contest.
