A City Bus or Train

Ride a city bus or train 

And you will get a sense

Of humankind of every strain - 

Behold the evidence:


The old, the young, the thin, the fat,

The handicapped, the frail,

The homeless, jock or spoiled brat,

The baby set to wail.


The strollers hogging too much space,

The walkers inching past,

The bodies crushed up everyplace

Until your stop - at last!


You exit, glad to be outside

And grateful you can walk,

But that's the price you pay to ride

On transit in New Yawk.
