Best Bus Driver Poems

Public transpo buses are a poor man's taxicab,
but you can't hail a ride when you need one
You must sit and wait on a wooden street slab
Buses are municipal elephants
that move on asphalt trails
If one arrives on schedule, then all is well
Drop the money into the...

They all got on my bus
The old folk had a night out
The cinema it would be
50 shades of grey
Going to see
50 shades of grey...

Driving his bus on that fateful day along this long driven route
Down a busy street he made his way his horn barely a toot
People coming and people going all at such a hectic pace
But the ability he was showing in placing a name to every...

Will you ride with me on this bus?
I promise the trip is in no rush
For the driver is careful and gentle
He will forbid danger to meddle

Will you ride with me on this bus?
Comforting and void of all the fuss
Guaranteed seat for you to take
Well designed...

My wife was once a school bus driver
Brave lady she's still in therapy, a survivor
It's quite a sad tale
At times gets derailed
Aims at kiddies with words I can't decipher...

Hey, you could be a bus driver!
And do you have nerves of steel?
Can you drive while people scream?
Are you awake at five?
Do children mind you?
Do you love kids?
Hooray!

The bus driver and a rowing boat


I remember a song “A slow boat to China”
There was a man a bus driver who took his wife on holiday to Spain
where his wife ran away with a shepherd 
The bus driver went home alone but had the...

On many a workday morning,
I sit at my kitchen table and
watch the BIRDS lite on electric
lines, or listen to their sweet 
chirps from the treetops.

I watch the SUN rising over the
horizon, and in early Fall, I observe
the green FIELDS of harvest slowly
yielding their bounty. Left...

Keep your eyes on the road, and your hands on the wheel 
And please tell your dispatcher, if ills how you feel 
You don't want to take chances, with kids on your bus 
Their lives are in your hands, it's you that they trust 
To...

Children can be pretty noisy while you’re driving 
As they are in your responsible care.
When you take the bus back to the garage,
After dropping every child at their homes or daycare
Make a thorough sweep over every row ensuring a child has not
Been left behind and...

The prettiest thing I’ve seen today
Is often there a rare display 
The shinning star in her constellation 
That moves about insighting sensation
Like music to the ears
A treasure to the eyes
What the tongue calls sweet
A smile labeled compleat
Desire driven by the shape of the eyes
The hour...

She came in all sassy and wanted to drive a school bus.
We told her our school is unusual and she said that is fine.
We have witches, warlocks, gargoyles, a ghost name of Gus.
She said my kin are weirder than that, they can get out of...

I always enjoy at 4:15 PM
No matter where I’ve been
In my house
Backyard living room kitchen
The beep beep of the yellow school bus driver

As he rolls away through the neighborhood
With all those kids skipping jumping
And running home to be happy

The driver’s gentle toot toot reassuring them
The...

Warm, cornflower blue September skies, 
Chase away end of summer 
Escorting in the beginning of 
Unruffled, cool, wet, autumn 
Shortening the days. 

Days of exhausting work
From dusk until dawn 
Bring a successful abundant harvest 
As summer closes.

Touch of living gaze and jump into 
An intricate...

In the morning they file out of it all crisp, clean, neat, voiceless.
Dressed in plaid uniforms, white socks, a variety of jazzy shoes, not speaking.
Hair fixed in a variety of “look at me” ways, with yarn, bows, beads and boxes.
Okay, I was kidding.
No one speaking.

In...
