The Driver of the Bus

The driver of the bus (like in the song)
Was urging folks to move along.

He called, “Hey Cellphone in your ear – 
Move it, buddy, to the rear!”

He nailed two women – “Move on back!”
I thought they’d have a heart attack.

There’s nothing like a little shame
To force the scofflaws to the game.

A bus driver's job must certainly not be easy - especially one for a school! I've only been in a bus once, but I don't recall the driver being that rowdy. Nice rhymes anyhow.

The driver of the bus is Gus. He makes no fuss or muss. If you don't get in line real quick. Well, there's no need to discuss. Peace. :) Gotta love a man in charge. :)

Enjoyed this poem, Ilene. I love humor, and am just now learning how to write it. It's fun to write and fun to read. Thanks for sharing.

Hmmmm I've been in such situations, Ilene, and I cannot but agree with the 'comic' pictures that you created. // paul
