Hello Poetry Lovers
Today we are going on a bus ride into town. 
A lovely charming piece by clever poet Trisha Broomfield will carry our journey along. There’s some dubious yet loveable characters on board, so let’s climb on that bus now! Have your bus passes ready!
On the Bus
The cat is driving me to town
he picks up pals along the way
he knows an owl who plays the clown
senior bus pass, doesn’t pay
he picks up pals along the way
the owl, a tawny, is a hoot
senior bus pass, doesn’t pay.
His pal Snake, sports a lamé suit
the owl, a tawny, is a hoot
on board a dodgy crocodile
his pal Snake sports a lamé suit
both greet me with a charming smile
on board a dodgy crocodile
odd teeth and fangs are capped in gold
both greet me with a charming smile
they hiss, ‘If we may be so bold.’
Odd teeth and fangs are capped in gold.
He knows an owl who plays the clown
they hiss, ‘If we may be so bold.’
the cat is driving me to town.
