The 151 Bus

Well here we go again the 151 bus is forty five minutes late.
Aggravation is not the word for it. When one bus comes there are
usually two more right behind it. Don't be stupid get on the first one
that stops, no matter how crowded it is. Chances are the other two
won't stop for you anyway. It's happened to me and in winter too. It's
just too bad that the Mayor dosen't have to bus it, bet things would be
different then. Alright here it comes, see I told you three in a
row.

All the waiting riders said a thank God in unison. Transfers out were
waiting, The stupid driver stops half a block ahead of us so we'll have
to run for it. They do that on purpose they seem to think it's funny.
Well let me tell you it aint funny.

Pack it on in, move to the back of the bus the driver yells. At this
point I am the back of the bus. We are nose to nose trying to hold on
as he guns the motor. Nobody falls because there's no place to
fall.

Look at all these people trying to get home, yelling at each other
trying to be heard over the roar of the motor. Stinks in here smells
like unwashed bodies and bad breath. The bus screeches to a halt and
you think, maybe some room at last. Well thats two off and three or
four on. Jesus get off my toe, and dammit stop breating on me. I think
i'm going to be sick. Hot as hell in here and i'm halfway home. There
must be a better way there has to be.

I can't afford a car, I can't afford much of anything since that
dickhead ran off with that piece of crap secretary of his. I hear their
honneymooning in Mexico. I hope they rot in hell. If they wanted to go
some place warm they should have gotten on this bus. People used to
give up their seats to pregnant women and older folks, well not anymore
they could care less.

I've got to work this weekend. I know it's Christmas, someone has to be
there and since I don't have a family. Oh well who cares it's holiday
pay anyway and I need the money.

Look I can see the front of the bus. If just four more people get off
i'll be able to breath again. Listen to me I can't stand me either no
wonder he left me. At least the cat will be glad to see me. This is a
good nite to curl up with the tv guide and a bowl of popcorn. Two more
stops, seems like I have been standing in this one spot for hours. I'll
have to pry my fingers loose from this bar i've been holding on to.
Well this is my stop. Getting off. hey getting off I said!!! stupid
driver he better stop. Well see you tomorrow same time same place
