AWAY WITH CONVENIENCE

When desirable isn't available, then it is truly a case of beggars aren't choosers.
 Hitch-hiking home from work isn't routine for me but sometimes I am left with many unavailable options.  Despite the stifling inconvenience of being sardine-packaged as 6 and sometimes 7 persons , depending on the comparative sizes of available buttocks, into what is supposed to be a 4-seater Toyota starlet, the rib pains I suffer and endure for minutes having to incline at an angle till I get to my destination, the often repulsive cologne of passengers, the overwhelming stench of uncleared refuse dumps I inhale while en route , the seemingly disturbing and incessant spitting of almost everyone around by the second like it was a form of exchanging pleasantries, the lacklustre attitude of the government towards infrastructure development, the mundane or practically non-existent social activities of a so-called state capital and the list goes on, I must say that being here for the past 19 months does have its positives.
 This was a draft, I am glad and grateful to announce that I got myself a vehicle now. So I guess this piece ends here.
