Budding poets challenged to 'beat the bus bard'
TRANSDEV Yellow Buses (TYB) is challenging budding poets to enter a Valentine’s Day contest and ‘beat the bus bard.’
For the last three years TYB has celebrated the romantic day by presenting red roses and cards to passengers.
The cards carry a suitably corny poem thanking people for travelling on the ‘Yellows’ throughout the year.
Now TYB has thrown down the gauntlet and invited passengers to ‘beat the bus bard’ and have their poem chosen for publication. The winner will receive chocolates, roses and a complimentary 30 day travel card.
The company has started off the first verse and is looking for at least one more to complete it.
The TYB contribution begins:
The TYB bus is more than just a way from A to B
It brings you to the things you love - your friends and family
We love to be with you each day, and on the bus we’ll meet
You never know your one true love, could be in the next seat!
Entrants can either add to this or come up with a completely new set of verses if they wish.
Entries should be emailed to valentine@yellowbuses.co.uk and the winning verse, if TYB’s bard is beaten, will be printed in the Valentine’s Day card ready for
February 14.
Closing date for entries is Wednesday February 3. Entrants should include their name, address and telephone number.
Jenni Wilkinson, TYB’s Head of Marketing, said: “Our Valentine’s Day celebrations are a fun way of thanking our passengers for their loyalty.
“Put another way - it’s time again to try and beat the bard and for all you poets, that can’t be hard!”
