BUS STORY # 97 (Poetry In Motion)

Four dollars a gallon?
That’s what the fuss is.
What’s the solution?
That’s what the bus is.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
When the bus is on time
I’m not a violet.

You’re probably wondering right about now what this is all about. Here’s the story. The ABQ RIDE website has announced a poetry contest. You can submit up to two poems. If they’re as good as mine, they’ll not only end up on the bus, but you could win the second prize iPod Nano, the third prize fifty dollar gift card, or the fourth prize twenty dollar gift card. I, of course, with any of the fine poems featured here, will win the first prize Acer laptop computer.

Traffic make you hopping mad?
Make you want to scream and cuss?
We’ve got the cure and it ain’t no fad
Just hop on the bus, Gus.

Candy is dandy
But the Rapid Ride’s quicker.
