English is an odd language.

It has some strange spelling,

some words have two very

different meanings, etc.

In spite of such things, it is

the world's main language.

Is there symbolism in that?

                                                                    

    Maxims for living

Understand and persist.

Enjoy being useful.

in a big city

on a bus route

some lucky passengers:

an oval,

a corner near

a river,

a median strip

wide, with greenery -

way to go!

different songs 

from the same

big page; 

the tunes 

aren't perfect 

but other pages 

may bring horrors
