Dream Bike

The red bicycle he had seen earlier in the store was the one he dreamed of, the one he adored With handles that could go up or down And a shiny bell, silvery and round Not to mention the ten speeds it had To own this bike would sure make him glad Summer would be coming soon, and He even imagined he could ride to the moon Summer had come, and indeed he did ride On a shiny red bike his joy and pride He rode with his friends In parks, and up hills, and on roadways with bends The spokes on the wheels had reflectors, red Riding with no hands as he gleefully sped His adventures were many, with all of his friends SUDDENLY, he was Jolted back to reality by the sound of his alarm clock!! It was all a dream! ..., it was a terrible shock!! Then he heard his mom say "Hurry or you'll miss your bus" Half in a dream,and teary eyed, he got dressed with not even a fuss Dazed, he went to the table to eat the cereal he liked And there in the corner, A Shiny New Red Bike!! The smile on his face seemed brighter than the sun He knew that the summer would be nothing but fun That summer he rode with his friends Through parks, around lakes, and on roadways with bends Riding over bridges, and down by the sea Sometimes he even popped a wheelie His adventures were many, with all of his friends He rode from morning till late afternoon Even imagining that he had rode to the moon One thing was certain, and that he well knew Was that day when his dream had somehow come true
