Go for the job from suburbs to city
The bars had closed, an after hours party
What did happen next was such a pity
The overdrunk can be less than hearty
Party of three decided to skip fare
The last one out would shoot him in the head
As it boiled down, did not seem to be fair
Scum should have run with the others instead
His last two left turns with bullet in brain
Would bring him one mile ere he crashed the cab
Fix broken connections, no time for pain !!
This was the last ride that he ever had
None ever think they will be a victim
Like one of our own, the cabman named Tim.

Well, I just got through watching these youtube news cast videos and such about a 22 year old guy who was stabbed/decapitated on a Greyhound Bus in Canada. I wrote a poem about. "Greyhound Murder". Also, I left the youtube link in the An if you wanna check it out. Theis was a great piece by the way!
Oh, they will not give all details in that video, but the young guy was stabbed until his head came off and then the murderer held the head up to the window where the other passengers had escaped to the outside. Then, the crazed guy dropped the head and went back to cutting up the guy's body. Sick, huh? We live in a screwed up world. -
