Billy And The Magical Bus
10 October, 2004
Author: Ben Franklin

His hobbie was to ride the buses day and night,
6.00am Im always guaranteed a friendly
'Hi'.

He always had a smile on his face,
a eager smile,
the type of smile you had when it was christmas morning
and you wanted to dive into your presents,
but your parents still said you had to
wait!

He was a bit slow,
and there were many unncessary comments made about him,
but he had more heart them all of them put togther.

I always replied to his 'hello's'
and 'goodbyes',
but like I said
some wasn't so kind,

One day he said goodbye to a little girl who was getting off,
the girls dad was offended for some reason,
so he took it upon himself to beat Billy so bad
he has permanent brain damage now.

why do people kick up such a drastic fuss?
now Billy cant do the one thing he had in life,
ride his magical bus.

sniffer!

hello blubber!
Terrie* really glad you liked it,
and know this never happenend,
but I got the inspration from a simalar kind of person who gets on the bus,
he always says hello and goodbye and is always smiling,
yet the small minded people take the piss out of him,
which ive come to expect in this day and age.
once again thank you.
much love
Ben
