Yellow Bus
Romantic banter rushes through rows.
Sixth grade Boy Scouts put on a show,
Bubblegum pops in my ear as I go,
Tires pop too, gotta drive slow slow slow.
The mirror above on the bus wall
Tells me gossip is the fairest of all
Even though band kids are nice and tall,
Their tiny hopes will be dashed and take a fall
Cheerleaders kick a kid in the shin
Soon football players see and plunge in.
I’ll swerve the bus, smash the case of a violin
Stop being so mean, you’re literally ten.
Expulsion is harsh, but guess what’s worse?
Feeling like the world has sent you a curse,
As the expelled bully thinks you are hers,
Being too nervous of a bully to finish a verse
Kids suck so much,
They’d make a dirty joke at me saying such,
Yet compared to adults they come in clutch.
Adults think life is broke, kids make a crutch.
