Where Da Bus At Series By: Chevella King

Gas Is So High, but a Bus Pass Ain’t Cheap

2008-09-09T18:57:00.001-07:00

Gas is so high.

The ozone is almost gone.

It’s a fact,

We sow what we reap.

I have been doing my part,

Catching a bus at the break of dawn.

I got just one thing to add to all this,

A bus pass ain’t even cheap.

Do They Miss Me?

2008-08-15T10:41:00.001-07:00

I haven’t been on the bus, this whole month.

I wonder if the drivers miss me.

They haven’t seen my face.

I wonder if they even think about me.

I haven’t seen my girl. Just to say hi.

I haven’t seen ole boy. Just to say bye.

I wonder if they miss me.

Perhaps next month, they’ll see.

No Bus Pass

2008-08-15T10:38:00.001-07:00

I forgot to buy my bus pass this month.

I don’t even know how.

It’s hard to rest the bus,

But I have to get around somehow.

I’m frustrated.

I’m mad.

I’m lost.

I’m sad.

What to do? What to do?

This month, I have no bus pass.

Almost Missed The Bus

2008-07-11T15:43:00.001-07:00

I almost missed the bus,

You will never guess why.

Trying to get something,

If I miss this bus, I’m gonna cry.

Next time, I will get there earlier,

Since I want to get a snow cone.

I better make sure I get it quick,

Cause I don’t wanna walk home.

Here We Go Again

2008-07-11T15:40:00.001-07:00

Well, it’s summertime again.

I am yet riding the bus.

It wouldn’t be so bad,

If it wasn’t so hot.

I will just keep the faith,

Cause here we go again.

A New System

2007-02-15T17:27:00.000-08:00

I've moved.
At least they have a bus system here.
The bus only rolls every hour.
I don't think I can make it.
One of these days,
I am gonna get a car.
This new bus system is worrying my nerves.

Too Hot

2006-08-10T19:37:00.000-07:00

It's too hot to be waiting on a bus.
Standing on this corner looking foolish.
Sweat running from my brow.
I brought some water,
But it ain't doing much.
Lord, I shole need a fan out here.
It's just too hot!

Fell Asleep

2005-11-12T17:07:00.000-08:00

I must have been tired.
I guess I was.
I did something on the bus today,
That I usually never do.
I missed my stop, too.
Unlikely behavior for me.
Surprised me through and through.
For this day, on the bus.
I was sleeping away.

If Da Bus Don't Roll Up In A Minute

2005-09-28T20:43:00.000-07:00

If da bus don't roll up in a minute.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
Well, I really do.
I'ma be late that's what I gonna be.
Bus always late
At the same time.
I don't understand it.
If da bus don't roll up in a minute.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
I would walk, but it's a bit too far.
I got a ways to go.
I'm trying to get somewhere.
Be someplace before the end of the day.
People are expecting me.
Can't let them folk down.
It's not my fault.
They don't really care about that excuse.
If da bus don't roll up in a minute.
I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Why this bus driver slanging me all over the bus?

$1.50 Trolley

2005-03-30T20:55:00.000-08:00

Walking down the road one day.
I spotted the trolley train tracks.
Then I spied the trolley coming from the other way.
A cute little ride to cruise through town.
Oh what fun it would be.
Oops, not this time & here's the reason why.
It's a DOLLAR FIFTY to ride the trolley.

Bout Time

2005-01-28T17:55:00.000-08:00

It's about time.
I have been waiting for the longest.
I didn't think the bus would ever get here.
It's not late or anything.
I just got tired of waiting.
Sitting around seeing all the cars go by.
It's a wonderful site.
But I am tired of waiting.
I am ready to get where I'm going.
I am ready to be where I need to be.
It's about time.
