Singing School Bus Driver

Classmates sang “Naida Potata” like a melody on their tongues.

Wunda the Witch welcomed me each morning with a song.

Even Tho created waves of musical notes to my ears.

Gramma Sang Old Dan Tucker for my supper.

Wunda the Witch welcomed me each morning with a song.

Telling jokes feels like performing a favorite song.

Gramma Sang Old Dan Tucker for my supper.

School bus kids became my new song.

Telling jokes feels like performing a favorite song.

Rhyming names become a lullaby.

School bus kids became my new song.

I was the singing school bus driver.

Rhyming names become a lullaby.

Even Tho created waves of musical notes to my ears.

I was the singing school bus driver.

Classmates sang “Naida Potata” like a melody on their tongues.
