~ Simple Simon’s Yellow Bus ~

Simon was a simplex child. Slow, they used to say.
Learning at a lesser pace, but learning just the same.
Simon rode a yellow bus, separate from his peers
Nicknamed "Simple Simon", shamed and ridiculed to tears.

"Simple Simon, Simple Simon, he’s as dumb as clay,
Has to ride a yellow bus, cause he can’t find his way".
Simon grew to hate the sight, of his small yellow bus,
Special rides to special schools, meant you’re not one of us.

Simple Simon’s yellow bus, drove down "AlmaVine",
There they stood defiantly, chanting "Simon’s" rhyme.
In his raging anger, Simon gathered up his nerve,
Pulled his window open, Yes Simon…"flipped em the bird".
