It was bad enough
There wasn’t a bus in sight,
To make matters worse,
The bus bay was bursting at
The seams,
All were itching to
Get home after a hard day’s work.
Came a rickety bus,
Hobbling on well worn tyres,
All surged forward
As if to hail a messiah.
Driver reeked of alcohol,
A cloud of moonshine
And ‘akpeteshie’ hang
Thick in the air.
In the melee that ensued,
Driver’s mate lost his cap
A man, his left shoe,
Key turned in the ignition,
Bus laboured on.
They wanted nothing more than
To get home,
They ended up in a butcher’s
Shop instead,
Luckily,
They were closed at the time.
Aside cuts and bruises,
All were fine though shaken up,
Next morning,
The headlines read: COMMERCIAL
BUS BREAKS INTO BUTCHER SHOP,
PASSENGERS RELEASED ON BAIL,
THEY PROTEST THEIR INNOCENCE,
AT LARGE: DRIVER AND DRIVER’S MATE,
INJURED: GOAT MEAT, PORK CHOP AND
23 BAGS OF SAUSAGES.
