Bus No. 77

There's a lady that rides my bus
letting her kids holler and scream -
I'd stick a sock into both their mouths -
but I'm really not that mean.

Luckily, my bus stop exit
is one of the first on our route
and I don't have to listen long
to screaming kids before I get out.

And luckier still I'm moving
and won't have to ride this bus
(but heaven forbid if bus 75
has kids who also put up this fuss).

But until then I sit and wonder
why the lady lets her kids roam free.
You can bet your bottom dollar
they wouldn't act like that - if those kids belonged to me.
