Why Buses Come In Threes
The first bus leaves the depot on time,
picks up all the passengers
and drops them all off.
The second bus leaves the depot on time,
but now has fewer passengers to pick up
and so catches up with the first bus.
The third bus leaves from no depot.
It has no driver.
It glows a venomous green
and is made of pure spite.
