Hey gals and gents
Keep busing along every little step
From stop to stop every little step counts
Be following your ABC's
And crossing your T's
For no Amber gets left behind...

You're on this bus and safe inside
But please consider those who ride
Or walk or cycle, those on horse back
(Before you eat your lunchtime snack)
And wave and cheer and smile, don't stare..
It's nice for them to know we care x

Traffic Safety Poetry Contest

It's a happy-sad ending hour at many bars
Where the parking lots are fool of cars
Where many of these spiteful patrons arrive
And then drink over the limit and some nose-dive
Mothers against drunk driving are calling
Fix your unruly ways because it’s appalling...

Hey, driver, I just want you to know
That somebody loves you here below
But if you keep driving the way you do
Too fast to heaven you will get through
And that someone you thought loved you true
Will not wait long to marry someone new.

Puff, puff, puff, that joint.
Slowly if you please.
Happily, happily, happily, happily.
Bongs are but a tease.

(Parody of Mother Goose nursery rhyme " Now the day is over")

Now the night is gone
Day is dawning bright
Colors of the horizon
Flash in the sight.

Now joy the new sun brings
Time to rise from rest
Birds will again spread wings
They will leave the nest.

Ensure, not a single student is left alone;
Treat them all as children of your own.
With utmost faith, they board your bus;
Be not the cause of an unnecessary fuss.
Their lives are in your hands you wheelmen!
Attend to their needs, to be called true men!!

Miranda
Witty, wife, sister, mother
Sister of Cindy
Lover of freedom, grace, and hugs.
Who feels close to God, much love from my husband and the need to help
Who fears car crashes, dogs and my last daughter at home leaving.
Who would like to see, the country from a cab of an 18 wheeler, island sunset and plays on the stage.

4X4X4X4 Poetry Contest

We were best friends
Then one on one
Our love was strong
And our stars touched

Up in our dreams
We flew like birds
Pass past dead ends 
And cars that crashed

It was us now
Free from our past
We built our nest
On a tree top

Next to a park
That wrapped our gift
Soon seeds took root
To the bird's cries...

The Rest of the Story Poetry Contest

1st place




Jack and Jill went up the hill
At school, this is what we were taught
But abruptly, Jack proposed Jill with a rose
Jill rejected it after a deep thought.
Respecting each other’s view		
Their friendship they tried to renew
As true friends they lived their lives ever after.

Let us trust the Lord* for today’s safety
Mindful of child-transport security
Being alert is indeed tough duty
Along our road responsibility…
Midst bikers, shared accountability
Those crossing, concerned sensibility.

*Psalms 118:8 “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.”

He used his fists, I heard him shout
“clearing those temper demons out”

A bloodied nose, a blackened eye
Drink turns him into a violent guy

Black bruises fade, so does their pain
But the mental scars always remain

I want to leave, I’ve tried and tried
He drags me back, oh how I’ve cried

Held captive - I am a beaten wife
Who can’t escape this abusive life

Wrinkle, wrinkle, dress white shirt,
stains are gone; it’s rid of dirt.
But the crumpled, rumpled look
needs some shaking, so I shook.

How to iron, I did not learn.
If I tried, your shirt might burn;
wear a jacket, do not fret.
Wrinkles vanish when you sweat.

When you take it off, with care
hang it up, the hanger’s there.
That should keep it wrinkle-free;
if it stinks, spray with DEGREE.
