The Dangers of Public Transportation

The skanky young girl in row two
sure stinks just like urine and poo.
Her hair is a mess
(it’s blondish, I guess);
perhaps she escaped from a zoo.

I try not to sniff, sneer, or cough;
that smell never will taper off.
I hate this odor,
so stop the motor!
It’s now time for me to get off.

Hooray for the street, where I’ll roam
and roam away far from that dome
of dim, putrid h**l.
I can’t stand this smell,
so I’ll travel by toe to get home.
