A City of School Buses

you'll step inside a vehicle which is really cool.

The vehicle is painted with a color that's mellow.

"What's the color?" you ask. Why, it's none other than yellow!

Waiting outside, you will hear a sound
softer than an explosion that blows up a mound.

When it comes around the corner, and without a fuss,

at long last, you'll see that it's a school bus!

Whether the bus looks new or old,

its yellow lights flash like gold.

When the doors open up to let you on, the lights aren't dead,

they've just changed to a shade of red!

Once you're in your seat, the lights disappear,

and the school bus you're on shifts into gear.

With the other seats occupied, it's a full load,

and now it's time to hit the road!

En route to school along the street,

there'll be other vehicles you're bound to meet.

What you'll see will cause something better than fusses.

Why, you're in the city of school buses!

Crossing a bridge over a road,

you'll see some buses sitting like toads.

You'll also encounter others of different size,

including those that have met their demise.

When you approach the school, you might get a big smile,

for the buses you see come in different styles.

It's only the first day, so what if you're late,

you'll just think, 'This bus ride was great!'

When the first day has ended, you're once again in that seat,

for your bus ride home where your parents wait to greet.

So off you go into the land

by way of the highway that's bigger than sand.

When you arrive home, you're in for a surprise,

your parents are there before your very eyes.

They ask you, "Did you have any fights or any kind of fusses?"

You reply, "No, I was in the city of buses!"
