Exit To the Rear

In the front door, out the back Is how it ought to be; On New York City buses, Many people disagree. The city’s added buses With three doors instead of two, In hopes that riders might just do What they’re supposed to do. Announcements blare reminders: Exit middle doors or rear, But still folks clamber forward, Just as if they didn’t hear. The lines outside get longer For all those about to board. They glare at front-door exiters, But they are just ignored. It seems a simple problem, The solution very clear: The front door is for entering; To exit, use the rear. But people do just what they want So we are in a fix, For even New York City can’t Teach some old dogs new tricks!
