Courtesy Seats

Whenever you see a rhinoceros
Get onto the bus in your street,
You may find the image preposterous
And pray that the brute will retreat.

You’ll secretly wish that he’s fareless
Or steps on the wrong pair of feet
Or trips on a bag and is careless
With Coke or a chocolate treat.

You’ll long for a medical crisis,
You’ll hope that he faints from the heat.
No matter how heavy the price is,
No matter how rich the deceit,

You’ll just want the driver to toss him
But please, give me leave to entreat:
You’d be over-hasty to cross him.
Just stand up and give him your seat.

Just add this:


Postscript:

Though late, I'll still send this to Lucy
for the "Urban Life" contest, because
where else but the city can you see
a rhinoceros riding a bus?
