An Ode To The School Bus

Can't you for a day

Bunk off your routine,

So I have my day made,

Playing to my heart's content

With my Mama around

For every odd job at play?

Can't you stay off the road

For a few hours

Until my Dad leaves for his work,

So I can stay at home

With my Mom, the full day,

Tailing behind her

Like my neighbour's pet?

Can't you forget just this day

To come my way,

So I can see

The plant in my balcony grow, and

Up above, the family of sparrow,

Away from my school bell's sonorous echo?

Spare me a day, O’ my school bus!

Promise I'll broadcast tomorrow

Before all in this world

That you are my only boss!
