Let’s Hear it for the Buses

 

Let’s Hear it for the Buses

by Rosemary Clarke

They've been with us
The whole time through
They're usually punctual
Rarely blue
And through it all
Not made a fuss
What would we do
Without a bus
For some of us
They're a lifeline
Those buses try
To be on time
But roadblocks, jams
And other folks

Make driving really
Past a joke
So when you board
Just spare a thought
If in the town
You do get caught
They have dependents
Just like us
So if they're late
Don't make a fuss
Without the buses
We'd be lost
Just help them all
Don't count the cost
It isn't such
A heavy task
Use cleansing gel
And wear a mask
Then they should all
Be very safe
And no one has to
Buy a wreath
For our bus drivers
Everywhere
Look after them
They need our care.

  1. Agree absolutely. Where I live the buses are regular even in this lockdown but I do fear for their future 'cos they must be losing money.

  2. I have a high regard for the bus staff (especially as I have a free pass) many a pleasant return journey to Chelmsford. I hasten to add though not used for a year. Like many workers they provide a vital service without recognition. Well penned Rosemary.
