All is calm in the Fall afternoon lull,
The day pleasant—then, a moment of nonplus:
What do you mean the bus left you behind at school?!
Man, f*uck this stupid bus! 6/6
I guess I’ll drive you kids to school again.
Get in quickly, no time to discuss.
We need to fight the stupid traffic all the way to school.
Hard to believe we pay for this damned bus! 5/6
Parents frantically change their morning plans;
Late to work again, ridiculous.
Bus driver shortage got everyone stressing—
Seriously, where is that f*cking bus?!
4/6
The children stand in their fresh new clothes,
Boredom setting in, beginning to fuss.
Damn it, we’ve been waiting at this stop for 38 minutes,
And still: no sign of the stupid bus. 3/6
A breeze whispers softly through suburbia,
The morning dew glistens in front of us,
It’s been a long, hot summer, kids,
Time for you to get on the f*cking bus. 2/6
In honor of ever-present school bus issues & frustrations, I was inspired to write a poem (in the tradition of the awesome book Go the F*ck to Sleep, narrated by the awesome Samuel L. Jackson). I shall call this Get the F*ck on the Bus: An Ode to Laurelville Transportation 😂1/6
