In the evening i went for a ride with greys parents turned out they sold there car, so we went to take the metro home. Turns out the metro broke down so we took the bus home.
While on the bus, I was reminded of a certain figure that is very common on public transportation in south america, Theres people who come on the bus to sell popsicles water cookies live chickens, band aids, stickers, Everything you imagine, Some of these people also sing or dance or play instruments.
Tin can And a rusty bent nail guy
So i thought i´ve seen it all on the buses, Until this evening, There was a guy Who sounded like kurmit the frog if he smoked 4 packs a day, His instrument, A tin can (like you have soup in it with rivits) and a rusty bent nail, He came on the packed bus, and of course stood next to me, smelling like he shit his pants about a week ago, He began to sign and scratch the rusty nail to the tin can, OH it was HORRIBLE, I was trying so hard not to bust out laughing i wanted to take a video, but figured he may stab me with his rusty nail.
Greys father noticed i was having a hard time composing myself So he says to me ¨if you ask he might have a version of this song in english¨
Oh what fun it is on the public bus
