Houndman Joe

Now Houndman Joe nobody really knows But to some Hound bus passengers, they have their own story that was never told A Hound bus with a mission to ride Houndman Joe being the stride It seems that when Houndman Joe would drive, it was his personality and demeanor in doing his everyday job of preserver It was the way he made Schedule announcements That Welcome Aboard His friendly hand in opening and closing the doors Houndman Joe put confident with a definite sure It was also the Hound bus uniform being how it was nearly pressed, and the shine in his shoes He looked more like a military soldier than a Hound Driver Houndman Joe drive being the ride that no one would refuse His approach too passenger’s was like having a personal chauffeur However, Houndman Joe took to the highway as if it was a personal friend There’s no thinking from when and then In fact, Houndman Joe greetings were totally sincere But his driving, no one had any fear However, he was his own talent being like a movie premiere Yet, Houndman Joe had stories to tell and the passengers knew all too well Stories that had meaning Sometimes even make you laugh For instance, Houndman Joe told the story of his pet male dog that rang away His dog rang away to be with another female dog and never came back But he finished the story with, “If only my wife would follow that same track Well a hard act to follow But it was a true story or was it? I will never tell Houndman Joe told an actual story of an actual passenger who travelled on his bus to buy some cigarettes Instead, the passenger brought a Hound bus ticket to Los Angeles and rode for two days I guess at this point, she knew her Husband was coming back But let’s just say, her Husband stayed on his scheduled track Yes that male passenger rode Houndman Joe’s bus But remember the Hound’s bus old slogan, “Take the bus and avoid the fuss” After while, the passengers just had to laugh But there seemed to be a chain reaction, as one of the passengers announced is there anybody aboard running from their wife Yet no one really answered Yet this was Houndman Joe’s normal routine The uniform and shoes all had their sheen Well there’s your story of Houndman Joe He was like a Commando, but without the war being the flow Houndman Joe was the master of his own show My hat off to you and everyday being the highway that you pursue.
