THE BUS

Posted to Poetry




The Bus has come I see but not for thee. Neal at the wheel said to me. I look to see that there others on the bus as well. William,Jan & Jack,Timothy,Jerry,Pigpen,Dick,Allen maybe more. Why can't I get on says I? "Because it's not your time." said Neal. "But when it's time I'll be here to see that you get picked up." said Neal as he winked his eye at me. So off drove the bus into the mists of time. I stood there and watched it dissapear. I then tured and walk in the opposite direction. I thought to myself. What did the driver Neal mean by "When your time comes I'll be there to pick you up?
