Description:
I wish I had the balls to write a serious poem about a serious issue. In the meantime, enjoy this silly thing.

Also, I haven't submitted written works before so I'm hoping I haven't got the fields mixed up.

ALSO ALSO, I am aware that the metre is fucked, I just haven't submitted anything in ages.

I got on the bus and went to my seat,
And besides, a fly was trampling his feet.
"Sir, your fare's not paid", I said
And then he blushed a subtle shade of red.
Guilt-ridden was I, and shamed
At belittling this creature's wily game;
I apologised and he said no trouble,
But asked my not popping the driver's bubble.
Seemed fair enough to me so I kept my silence,
If the driver knew he'd lose his license.
My stop came so I said goodbye,
Then someone sat down and squashed the fly!
