Daily Prompt: Tardy

I never cared for this word, tardy

I was never that foolhardy

For school I always took the bus

Small neighbor van drove all of us

He was a neighbor, son a classmate of mine

We lived miles apart and his driving was fine

Old Mr. Adams we used to call him

Acting well behaved and prim

So if lateness an issue, it wasn’t us

It was the old guy driving the bus!

Apologies, Mr. Adams. I expect lightning in my area soon.
