The yellow school bus

Don't ignore the stop sign 
on the yellow school bus. 
You may be in a hurry 
but safety should come first. 

The bus is full of children 
slow down just take your time 
Something unexpected might happen 
so please bear that in mind. 

A little consideration 
goes a long long way. 
So keep your eyes wide open 
and give the bus the right of way.

Then those school bus monitors 
who always do their best. 
Will feel much more content 
having put their minds at rest.

I went back and changed the placement of this from 3rd to 1st because after reading it one final time to put a comment on it, I discovered that it should be among the rankings of a higher winner than 3rd place. Congrats on your new placement in my contest.

I like this one so succinct. Mine was too detailed I think.

I did try to write something with more content but nothing seemed to fit. I still think you're favourite to win Andrea.
