I like to take the bus tho’ old and spare <br />To reach for practice, my clinic by eve; <br />It moves like neither snail nor speeds like hare! <br />Yet, carefully, it goes tho’ people heave. <br /> <br />The driver in his sixties looks quite wise; <br />The passengers don’t crowd; each gets a seat; <br />The bus looks welded much and not so nice, <br />With jerky windows, silence, floor not neat! <br /> <br />Not many board the bus at every stop; <br />The journey takes a longer time indeed; <br />No robbers come to steal and there’s no cop; <br />The bus is safe but cannot others lead! <br /> <br />Altho’ this bus is not the one most sought, <br />The risk of accidents is almost naught! <br /> <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 2-1-2005<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-the-bus-i-prefer-to-take/
