WHO SITS BESIDE YOU


Reading about the man on a Greyhound bus
Evil man who created quite a fuss
Cut off the head of a fellow passenger
Not being insensitive--frighten me for sure!
Reminded me of younger days my first job
Unloading buses a days work did log
I was unloading baggage two men in suits walked near
Packing weapons and that was my fear
Said to me, "Crawl in that bin say no word!"
I am not a coward but did as they said assured
Worse thing being they closed the bin down
All I could hear from within a muffled sound
Get on the floor put your hands behind your back
The sounds of a struggle the man fought back
When the baggage door opened I didn't know what awaited me
But it was a detective to free me for they had
forgotten I was inside the baggage bin you see

This happened many years ago. At a time finding work was slow
I was unloading Greyhound buses. Feeding my family one of my fusses.
The story is quite bizarre. Driving age but he hadn't learned to
drive a car. This man was not too bright.lived with Mom and dad
had a fight. From a small town killed both seemingly disappeared
into the night. Not finding his body something was not right.
But there was a problem you see.His parents car
outside but someway he had to flee. The only transportation
in town a Greyhound bus. It wasn't hard to follow the trail not
much of a fuss. There was only one stop in Seattle and thus.
I found myself sealed in the baggage bin of a Greyhound bus.
