The long furlough (edit 1)

[Leaf]

Hi Mark,

Thanks for taking the time to read and comment on this one too.

I haven't found the 'Poetry for Fun' forum yet; I'll have to take a look.

Thanks for all your suggestions; I've tweaked S2 and S5, but I've left S4 for now. That's because Mick's attempt to catch the bus was an isolated incident, as he's on furlough. I hoped the title might set the scene a bit, but perhaps not. Ah well.

I like the idea of someone managing to miss a bus so often; I suppose that would be due to a phobia.

Perhaps my poetry isn't good enough for this site yet? That's no problem at all; I'll just have a go somewhere else :-)

All best,
Leaf
