The exercise:

Today's starter is: the daily commute.

Mine:

A peaceful morning ride to catch my bus
I glide down hills, I'm not in a rush
Dawn lit streets are rarely disturbed by cars
Fingers are frozen to my handlebars

The bus is busy but not fully packed
Commuters are mellow, we're not yet cracked
I step off my ride thirty minutes later
I will walk from here - fresh air is greater

At long last the clock ticks over the line
Free at last, free at last - it's quitting time!
Run for the bus - I don't want to miss it
With each passing bus there's less room to sit

Everyone pile in the Sardine-mobile!
Try not to slip on that banana peel...
Time to get off, it's a fight to the door -
See you tomorrow to do this some more!
