Bus 333

Bus 333           

Thank you bus 333
For being there for me all day long,
You wake even before cock crows
And set yourself out all  for my sake;
Your storage you fill to the beam,
Your powerhouse you fire to warm,
You  sweep the aisle and mop the deck
You polish the seats and empty the  bins,
Your fire extinguishers are all in place;
How much you care for me ! 
Danke, danke, danke.

6.10 is the meeting time,
Under the shed I see your light
Piercing the thick wintery cloud,
Your rollers daring the whitish heaps,
Your long antennas twisting left and right,
Unceaselessly wiping the chill ice ,
Who could have loved me more ?
Danke dir, mein lieber Bus.
 


No, you will not bypass me,
You will not even hurry me up,
But carefully you will lift me up,
Give me all necssary attention;
Your guten Morgen delights me,
It brightens me and gives me joy;
And when I finally settle down,
In my direction you will zoom
Watching front,watching back;
And when our do becomes done,
Deligently you will park and wait,
Auf Wiedersehen,auf Wiedersehen ; 
What a great love is this ?

Lieber Bus 333,ich liebe dich,
Lieber Bus 333,ich danke dir.

Thank you nette,just like the assignment you give us,bus 333 is a symbol standing for the commitment of german government to the well being of everybody. It is just my small way to commend the government in Germany and express my gratitude. One love.

what a cute little poem!! You have a unique style, that is for sure!! Love your eclectic mix of poems. Glad it was not a double-decker bus. Maybe it would be 666. EEEEE
