The Need for Buses

Those who are drivers so often can’t see

That buses are needed and always will be

For all of the people who don’t own a car,

For what seem short distances may be so far

That even the fittest will very soon baulk

At having no option each time but to walk.

It must be remembered by all for a start,

That stations are mostly some distance apart,

So it’s not just a matter of getting the train,

With such a short walk that no-one could complain;

But leaving the station quite often with dread

At the thought of the lonely long walk that’s ahead.

So buses are needed, all over the place

So those without vehicles do not have to face,

The problem of walking, perhaps late at night,

Carrying bags that soon feel far from light.
