My Bike

I’m off like lightning!  Watch me go            Up the hill, pumping slow, Then zooming down the other side            Like a roller-coaster ride.   Through the puddles            My bike is a boat; My wet wheels keep            Me dry while I float.   The sidewalk’s my highway            As I whizz along, Singing a happy            Pedaling song.   Bobbe Indgin
