The Bus ride home is going slow -

Another 15 stops to go.



Apaper airplane whizzes by

And someone just spit in myeye.



The smell of hairspray in the air,

My bratty sisterpulls my hair.



As I look up, what do ya know -

Another 13stops to go.



The driver's music loud and clear,

I think I'mdeaf in my left ear.



A kid who sits in front has candy,

Apiece would surely be quite handy.



I try to get a piece - just one-

But when I get there, he's all done.



As I look up, whatdo ya know -

Another 8 more stops to go.



This cute girl'ssitting in the rear,

I'd rather be there instead ofhere.



But just as I start moving back,

I fall with agigantic crack!



Some stupid kids who think they'recool

Tripped me so I'd look like a fool



I hate to say theirplan did work,

I feel like a humungous jerk.



I'll slip intothe seat and then,

I'll never show my face again.



As I lookup, what do you know -

Another 5 whole stops to go.



MyEnglish book is what I need,

I think I will curl up andread.



Just when I get into the book,

Charlie gives me aweird look.



Kicks me right in the rear end,

And I thoughthe was my best friend.



A "Kick Me" sign was on myback,

And then I get a kick from Jack.



There's hoots oflaughter everywhere,

Because my pants now have a tear.



As Ilook up, what do ya know -

Another 2 more stops to go.



I'mstarting to feel drowsy now,

Just one more stop, almost therenow.



As I start to drift away,

Some kid yells out to me,"Hey! Hey!"



"Your stop has gone and passed youby!"

I feel as if I'm gonna die.



Everybody laughs andcheers,

Right now I think I'm close to tears.



The driverpats me on the back,

"I'll drop you off on the wayback.



Don't be sad it won't go slow

Only 30 stops togo."
