Following on from the previous post, this new nursery rhyme deals with something that affects commuters on a regular basis:
(Grand Old Duke Of York)
Oh the bus driver from hell
Can't see or hear that well
So that is why he missed your stop
'Cos he didn't hear the bell
When you get on he's a grump
And when you get off he's so gruff
Don't be surprised, when you flag him down
If he drives past in a huff
There's a very amusing ad campaign running on TransPerth trains and buses at the moment, it involves re-written versions of famous nursery rhymes, targeting specific issues that annoy regular users of public transport.
For example, there are ads that cover topics such as people not allowing others to leave the train before they push their own way on, people not getting to the bus stop on time causing delays for other passengers and so on.
I think they've left a huge hole in their coverage, and so I now offer a couple of extra nursery rhymes that probably should have been part of the campaign:
Sing a song of commuting
A tale full of woe
When a little drizzle falls
All the trains go slow
Peak hour trains have three cars
When they really should have six
All because the government
Are useless, tight-arsed pricks.
TransPerth, TransPerth After Dark
Just like walking through Central Park
Muggings and bashings on the Armadale Line
Trains to Midland full of tramps drinking wine
TransPerth TransPerth, In The Night
Sure to give a nasty fright
If you see any of these in poster form, let me know so I can go and claim my royalties 
After all the waiting, the build up, the stories about South Africa being behind schedule and all that other usual stuff, today will see the official start to the FIFA World Cup 2010, and the curtain raiser between the hosts and Mexico.
Really looking forward to wall-to-wall football for the next few weeks, the inevitable penalty shoot out involving England, and keeping fingers crossed that the Aussies can back up their performance in 2006 with another good showing as "underdogs".
Not looking forward to seeing Mel and Kochie wrapped in their green and gold, calling it the "Soccer World Cup", and acting like they are lifelong fans; then again plastic bandwagoners are a fact of life that long-standing football supporters have to deal with / ignore.
So best of luck to England and Australia, and hopefully that's the next two nations to host the event in 2018 and 2022 respectively.
BRING IT ON!
