MUNIficence: A Pantoum to Transport You With Delight

I've waited for the bus
I'm feeling quite tired
I don't make a fuss
If I'm late, I'll get fired

I'm feeling quite tired
Too much drinking last night
If I'm late, I'll get fired
Something's not right

Too much drinking last night
Throbbing pain in the head
Something's not right
Is the bus driver dead?

Throbbing pain in the head
And the bus has arrived
Is the bus driver dead?
No, he seems to have survived

And the bus has arrived
Is my buddy in jail?
No, he seems to have survived
At least, he sent an email

Is my buddy in jail?
He went home without his bike
At least he sent an email
After his marathon hike

He went home without his bike
Thence to work, and a beckoning
After his marathon hike
The morning's grim reckoning

Thence to work, and a beckoning
I can't take any more
The morning's grim reckoning
I walk through the door

I can't take any more
I've waited for the bus
I walk through the door
I don't make a fuss
