The Dirigible Balloon
Poetry for Children

Have You Seen My Bus Pass?

Have you seen my bus pass?
I put it down just here –
Or maybe on the table?
I can’t quite remember where.

Have you seen my bus pass?
It looks a bit like this.
Who knew something small
could cause problems quite this big!

Have you seen my bus pass?
I’m beginning to despair.
Without it I can’t catch the bus
That takes me everywhere.

Have you seen my bus pass?
What’s that I hear you say?
It’s in my pocket? Oh! So it is.
Must dash! The bus is on its way.
