Bus Ugly

Finn was at his job today
You know he drives a bus
Never really much to say
When he talks to us

He's never talked bad of folks
Or said and evil word
In fact I'd never heard him joke
He thinks that it's absurd 

But early on this morning
Right there in front of us
A woman started boarding
With a baby on the bus

With one look at the baby
Finns said to my surprise
"That one ugly kid there, lady
And I tell you that's no lie" 

Her anger started fuming
As she headed back toward me
But found an empty seat
So she sat beside McGee

Well, MeGee, He saw her steaming
As she told him of her plight
Then they both started scheming
To try and set things right

They both agreed, there' someone
That she should go and tell
but meant while, what should be done
Is for her to give'im hell

As she stood to walk precisely
To do what she must do
McGee then offered nicely
"I'll hold your monkey here for you"

LOL Jerry. Reminds me of when I was a nursery nurse student and one of the women we visited her baby was SOOO ugly but I said to her it was beautiful and she started to cry and said it as the first time anyone had told her that - truly her baby DID look like a monkey but was so cute. I have never ever forgotten it - and we should remember beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Hugs jan xxx
