Slightly boy hopped onto a public bus


Slightly boy hopped onto a public bus and plopped down within the seat proper behind the motive force.

Because the bus pulled away, the boy began chatting nonstop:

“If my mother was a cow and my dad was a bull, I’d be slightly calf!
If my mother was a hen and my dad was a rooster, I’d be slightly chick!
If my mother was a deer and my dad was a buck, I’d be slightly fawn!
If my mother was a duck and my dad was a goose, I’d be slightly duckling!”

On and on he went — animal after animal — whereas the motive force’s endurance wore thinner by the second.

Lastly, the motive force whipped round and barked,
“Alright, child — what in case your mother was a drunk and your dad was a bum?”

With out lacking a beat, the boy grinned and mentioned,
“Then I’d be a bus driver!”

The motive force by no means noticed it coming.
