Ode to the Trolley's

For those of you who do not work with me, you might be surprised to know that for that past 4 months I have been riding a trolley to work every day. No, you didn't misread that, I said trolley. How many people besides people who work in San Francisco can say that? Well, after 4 months of riding a trolley, I have some things to say which I feel would best be communicated through a poem I have written:

Ode to the Trolley’s

Each morning we meet at the second stop
Your automatic doors open to take me away
What a bumpy ride you are!
With your artic air conditioning blasting at me
As I sit in your wooden seats with thin cushions
Your wide turns and sudden stops toss me about
Eight hours I spend away from you yet we meet again
I wait for you in the blazing Texas heat each afternoon
My heart rests on the hopes that our time together will soon end
Oh Trolley, how I loathe thee!

I would like to contribute:

Oh Trolley, my Trolley
Your doors shut on me fast
You no longer make me happy,
But, really, when have you in the past?
You are way too cold.
Your shock system too old.
And you make me quezzy enroute to my car.
Oh Trolley, my Trolley
How annoying you are.

Much Love Jenna!
