Double decker bus

What is your preferred mode of transport?

Forget about travelling on trains,
or embarking on ships,
or taking to the sky in planes.

A private car for a road trip,
a horse and cart chaise,
a motor bike, all dismissed.

To see the world go by,
trundling along the lanes,
tyres on the ground, head in the sky.

Aimlessly watch the rain
make a face in the steam cry,
watch droplets streak on the pane.

Bus stops, people get off.
Climb on clinking change,
find a seat, arrange bags, cough.

Engine rumbles brakes hiss.
We’re off to another stop,
effortless transport bliss.

Above hedges and fences
watching the world go by
trundling through a rainbow
as clouds clear from the sky.
