The Pains of Trains (and other public transport)

The Pains of Trains (and other public transport)

“Please, take the bus,” they all say,
It's the environmentally friendly way.
You'll be overly charged,
And if they can be arsed,
They might turn up at the said time of day.

Or maybe a train is more of your thing,
They're able to fit so many more people in.
Each zone travelled, you pay,
Though they're going that way.
And it's worse if you plan on staying out for drinks.

But, you can always call a cab if you choose.
Though whether they turn up is anyone's clue.
But they rant and they rave,
And it's shoved in our face,
That drink driving is so very bad for you.

So I guess we could all ride our bikes,
But some genius decided that can't be right.
If caught, you'll be charged,
Like you were driving a car,
Planning is now required before your big night.

Or, you could always just do what I do,
The time's come and your night is now through,
Get caught disturbing the peace,
You'll get somewhere to sleep;
And the police cells aren't that bad to wake up to.
