There once was a man who lived in the graves,
for many demons had made him their slaves.
But when Jesus he met
he would never forget
this complete stranger, willing to make waves.
When no longer the demons could torment
to a swine herd, they besought to be sent.
Jesus met their request;
human herd coalesced
all supplying their advice and dissent.
To steer clear of more demon disaster,
the man pleaded to make Jesus, Master.
"Go home," Jesus commends,
"with your neighbors be friends -
what I need now is a good newscaster."
School Bus Drivers, you must take care.
Check your bus once your drive is done.
Make sure that no child remains;
on the floor; beneath seats; miss no one.
Stronger means bear
The greatest pressure in life
If not shipped with care.
All drivers of buses, you must be aware
of bicyclists who sometimes speed past
so quickly you don’t even know they are there.
Whatever you do, you must not drive fast.
Pedestrians sometimes come onto the street
when they ought not. It could mean tragedy.
Be careful so that your bus does not meet
with the body of someone you just didn’t see.
Have vigilance always, not just for each child
for whom you are driving, but for everyone
you meet on your route. This warning’s not mild!
Regard each soul as your own daughter or son.
Good morning to all our school bus operators,
watch out for bikers, pedestrians and demonstrators;
the weather man is predicting rain, so watch the kids,
drive slower, and avoid quick stops, and sudden skids.
Besides all that have a wonderful day and smile;
because we need you and your job is worthwhile.
Monday- Mind those that are walking and who concentrate on talking.
Tuesday- Watch those that are cycling, they avoid puddles to try and keep their bike clean.
Wednesday- Look for those that are running, some of them do look quite stunning.
Thursday- Beware of those that are scooting, they go quite fast no matter what their route is.
Friday- The same as every day gone past, the one special rule, is make sure you get them all safely to school.
A reminder to watch out for kids on bikes.
We don’t want to run over the little tykes.
Slow down when they are nearing,
Cause they aren’t the best at steering.
Same goes for little ones near the bus.
Running over them would cause such a fuss.
