1 June 2012

I look around our little bus,

My Mecca over the years

But all of you slipped through my grasp

As I tried to hold just one near.

Mr M, the red-head

Hilarious, so dry

Now no longer looks my way

Shame, you were always a nice guy.

Then there's the Misses A and B

Who titter, snigger, stare

They never really liked me much,

Before now I didn't care.

Mr E is gone now

To uni in the town,

To do his art, his passion,

Ever the satirical clown.

Mr D always sleeps now,

And the lovely Mr J

Has drifted, though he's still slightly there

With me he's managed to stay,

But he's got other commitments,

The gorgeous Miss H,

Once a dear friend, so close

We no longer make

The jokes that we used to

Though our friendship is still there

But the once vivacious, coated ties

Have now all been stripped bare.

It's funny how in trying to save

I turned you all to ghosts,

And while I tried to cling to him

I lost the one's I loved the most.
