The bandwagon

I hurriedly jumped on the bandwagon,
It seemed to be going my way.
But when I peered in, it was full to the brim
With people who’d climbed on that day.

I scrambled inside, keen for the ride,
But there wasn’t a place to relax.
With so many people crammed in there
It’s a wonder it didn’t collapse.

“Where are we going?” asked one,
“What are we going to do?”
Some there made out they had answers,
But no-one, in truth, had a clue.

“But at least we’re aboard!” said another,
“Although it’s a bit of a crush!”
Then it dawned, we were all in a wagon,
Going nowhere at all, in a rush.

For the wagon just went round in circles
Until, finally, the driver said “Stop!”
We all looked around, quite embarrassed,
And, sheepishly, slowly got off.
