Up to the moment that I started to ride the bus,
thought Bus Drivers are over paid and made fuss
But now I ride on a daily basis,
I sit, I observe, i listen, I watch peoples faces,
there are psycho’s, wacko’s weird ones alike,
all with headphones, texting their life
Rudeness, coldness, staring you through,
and that’s just the front where I am at eye view,
now consider this folks, for 8 hours if you will
I can’t imagine how one’s brain would stay real
to a normal person who sees this every day,
to you my bus driver, you have a nice day!
to all you who had a bad day and feel strife
get a grip bitch, in fact get a life
the bus driver is there to get you home
look down and enjoy and text on your phone
now i’m hoping these kind words may help me my way
maybe a free bus pass Metro X what do you say?

not too shabby^^
but taking the bus, I bet he’s flabby
Riding a bike is a good way to diet
The pounds would fall off if only you’d try it.
Like I’m one to talk… since I too take the bus
I just find it’s always a plus
to not have to deal with the shittiest traffic
the hate I would spew en route would be graphic
so for now I guess we’re stuck with our decision
for a life less shitty, I cannot envision
hike water, hike power, and tax after tax
Oh god how I loathe thee… damned Halifax
