I left my cello on a bus

It's practically brand new.

I called in to Lost Property

To see what they could do.

.....

I told the clerk my story

"I've left it on a bus!"

He said "Describe it for me".

"Ok, well if I must."

.....

"It's rather large and noisy

It's blue and has six wheels

It uses lots of diesel

Inside it has no frills.

.....

It has the number 49

Displayed both front and back.

The clerk walked down his warehouse

And checked in every rack.

....

"Nothing's come in so far."

He's such a helpful fellow.

I'll try again tomorrow,

Will they ever find my cello?
