Christmas Day Bus Ride
December 25, 2013
Twas the day of Christmas and all through the busPlenty of creatures were stirring, maybe even a mouse
A rotund woman squeezes through the aisle with a great deal of trouble
After getting on, the bus’s weight surely did double
Under her arm, a large box of chocolates she did bring
It had to be empty, ‘cause it looked like she ate the whole thing
The first of a number of bums staggered onto the bus
After sitting down, he flashed his few remaining teeth to us
He soon caused those around him to scatter
Bathing more than once a month does matter
The next one showed that standing on his feet is truly an art
For someone who smelled like he just held up a liquor mart
A scruffy character with an IQ of about five
Had to have picked up his U of M backpack in a dumpster dive
Two teenage hoodlums showed no shame
As they scoped out their next claim
A woman boarded after her holiday eggnog
Inside her stroller was not a baby, but a dog
Being a guide dog was not Rover’s mission
Another day on the bus that saps holiday cheer
It makes me want to get out of here
