I’ve got a bit of a funny poem from Commute for you today, regarding the unfortunate numbering choice for a catholic college’s bus. Also, I’ve been really happy with how many people have downloaded a copy of Commute already, so please feel free to grab your free copy from this page!
Irony (666)
Don’t talk to me
of irony
until you’ve bypassed
the 665
to take a sinful route
to your catholic college.
Sure, they both
go the same way–
yes, they both
end up in the same place
(otherwise, what use
is a college bus?).
Yet riding on
the 666–
it tastes of crime,
and stinks of curses
and the Devil’s armpit,
and we are teenagers.
