"Bus Station Villanelle"

Explain to me the reason or the rhyme.

They’ve had all day. Why now, at half-past five?

Why do they change the drivers at peak-time?



We’re treated to this daily pantomime.

Took so long for the damn bus to arrive.

Explain to me the reason or the rhyme.



Sick of this bus station with all its grime,

and watching these two drivers chat and skive.

Why do they change the drivers at peak-time?



Worked hard all day. Did not commit some crime.

I’m freezing, but the driver still won’t drive.

Explain to me the reason or the rhyme.



What made that woman pick her coat in lime?

I focus on daft things just to survive.

Why do they change the drivers at peak-time?



Somebody’s ring-tone sounds like Big Ben’s chime.

So cold. Will I get out of here alive?

Explain to me the reason or the rhyme.

Why do they change the drivers at peak-time?
