on the bus

a kid had the double front seat
he was ten, skinny and healthy
I asked for the seat and he sprung up

it’s good for him to learn now
the way of the world, how old people
impose their will on the young

anyway, he didn’t need that big seat
I’ve seen larger wrapped sandwiches,
fold the kid up and he could ride in a lunchbox

Now this is funny! I love it. And there's a deeper theme there, too. That's what I was talking about when I said I love poetry that can make me laugh, but there's something else there, too. Excellent.
