And the Bus Stopped

So I got off. I got off because I was hungry, obviously. Every happenstance has a cause, a reason to be. Let me explain, I was very hungry, I had started work at the Royal County Hotel before dawn; now it was 6:03 p.m. My mind was remembering pieces by famous poets and altering them, trying to distract my attention from my rumbling stomach. I was thinking, “Stands the clock at 6:03; there are no buttered scones for me.”
