Without Permission of the Driver









Now before I give you my name
There is to be
Nothing
And I mean nothing placed on the floor of this bus
I have been injured due to trash on the floor

The first bottle that rolls under my foot
And where it comes from
Is where your trip is going to
End
That as well as your trash

There's a trash bag in the back guys
This is
My HOME
And you will respect it as such

My name is [redacted]
And I'll be your driver for this evening
Schedule is now going from Atlantic City to New York City
Now they're a few more rules and regulations for this coach

One
There's no smoking of any THING
Of any KIND on this coach
Andthatincludestherestroom

The law states I can't drink and DRIVE
That means you can't drink and RIDE
Or CONSUME
Any alcoholic beverages
And anybody caught ignoring these federally mandated rules will go
From a passenger to a pedestrian

Cellphones
Listen carefully
I speak one time and I'm cut and dry
Cellphones can cause you to be a pedestrian on
This coach
Very fast
All phones WILL go on vibrate silent mode
Your conversations are low and to
A minimum
That means brief

You will RESPECT
Everyone around you

Now if you came on here
With any type of listening device
I ask that you use a headset
And you keep it at a volume that only you and you alone can hear
For your own listening pleasures only

By any chance if coach gets too hot...
TAKE YOUR JACKETS OFF!

And if it gets too cold?
...Put 'em back on

'Fyou have any questions
Ask me now
If you must come up and ask me a question
Let me know that ya comin'

Do NOT
Scare the bejeezus out of me

Last but not least
And I mean this one
Keep your shoes on
Break your wind to a minimum
And I'll get us down the road safely

Now, if this puppy they gave me
Decides it wants to run right
And the weather
And traffic
Permit

Look at your watch now guys:
'Cause in two hours
Ten Minutes
And twenty-nine seconds
We will be in New York

Sit back and enjoy your ride.

Right on, biboo. Reminds me of a sweatshirt worn by this portly grandmotherly school bus driver.
On the front it said: WELCOME ABOARD!

On the back it said: NOW SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP!
