The School Bus

Dom and Georgia caught the bus, And boarded it without a fuss. Although the bus was bound for school They found the journey rather cool. Dom leapt on and found a seat. He opened up a pack of sweets And turning on his MP3 Yelled “Frasier, come and sit with me!” Georgia, being more sedate Settled down by her best mate And chatted as the bus drove on, Of last night’s homework and so on. Dom and Frasier, being boys, Were now creating quite noise. And as the journey seemed quite slow, They looked around for stuff to throw. Tutting, Georgia shook her head Wishing she was still in bed. She wondered should she tell her mother All about her naughty brother. “Lob this at Tom!” and Frasier brandished What looked like half a moldy sandwich. I bet you a strawberry lace That you can’t land it on his face. “I’ll take that bet mate!” Dom said grinning (Through the air the bread went spinning). “I bet you a further fiver You’ll never throw it at the driver!” From the back there came a shout, As Andy gave Marie a clout. Responding to a double dare Jack put gum in Mary’s hair. While tony tried to count his feet Alice pushed him from his seat, And as she didn’t like his look She also ate his science book. The driver pulled the handbrake on And shouted to the boisterous throng “We’re here you lot, leave me alone! I’ll see you on the way back home.”

Poor bus driver. What a miserable job that would be. I taught junior high for one day and quit. Couldn't take the stress and now i make lowest teaching pay in a private adult school! This was fun read. LUv, Andrea
