I never actually mean to jump on the tram
But sometimes things happen: do you feel me fam?
It’s quick and convenient, it’s always there,
Its travelling speed is beyond compare.
Whenever I’m in trouble it acts my saviour,
Putting an end to unorganised behaviour.
And so I’ve decided for this poetic slam
To write a small ode to using the tram
You’ve been out at brunch for five hours too long
Your test is tomorrow, it’s all going wrong
You need to get home, it’s time for a cram
Looks like you’ll just have to jump on the tram.
It’s eight fifty-five and your class is at nine
That late one last night put you real far behind.
You need to move quick or your attendance will slam,
Looks like you’ll just have to jump on the tram.
It’s raining outside and you need to go out
You check on the forecast, your gut fills with doubt.
Today is all rain, you yell out “goddam”
Looks like you’ll just have to jump on the tram.
It’s way too late on a Saturday night,
You’re alone in the city; drunk am I right?
You cry to yourself “I don’t know where I am”
Looks like you’ll just have to jump on the tram.
