My second poem about buses, this a bit more serious.
The bus headed swiftly down the road carrying a happy, boistrous load when forced to a sudden stop by some officious looking cop his car's lights flashing blue and red walked up and to the driver said 'There are checks that must be done sorry to delay your passengers fun. I do so understand your plight but I must ensure the bus is alright' then a voice came from the rear obviously slurred by too much beer 'You must have better things to do with your time why not go and solve some real crime' The cop just said they'd found mistakes the coach had some defective brakes and further movement was not allowed No words to quell a hostile crowd Three hours they were to hang around before a new bus could be found with feelings becoming even worse lucky not to progress beyond a curse An hour later the mood more irate 'We're people, not just some freight' seemed to be most peoples views suddenly, heard upon the local news 'There has been a major crash through a wall a coach did smash' our ace reporter speaking live reckons very few would survive 'How? Why? What actually entailed?' 'Seems the bus's brakes had failed'
Great one David, a fortuitous holdup, once feeling annoyed at running out of petrol, I found I had escaped a pile up just minutes later, had I not been forcibly stopped I might have been a part of it.
David, reminds me of the time we were planning a family vacation and had made airline reservations, and at the last minute decided to drive. The plane crashed. I'll never forget the silence of the whines of the children when that was announced over the radio in the car. Not one more word was said for about the next fifty miles. But there were many many tears being shed. ~SH~

I swear, I missed my bus...lol! I liked the "go solve some real crime" bit. That has to be international...lol! Reminds me of a flight that was delayed in London FOREVER because they had to replace a part. EVERYONE was complaining....but, had we been on that plane, no one would have complained.
Deputy Dave Jenkins investigates the murder of local high school principal, Jerry Egge, but this is a multi-faceted novel that deals with spiritualism, romance, friendship, and children who fall through the cracks.
