Doing Wheelies!

Doing Wheelies!
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Memaw’s doing wheelies,
She must have flipped her lid.
She should be knitting blankets.
Or babysitting kids-

She had the “hee-b-jee-bies.”
At least that’s what she said.
Just before she hit the gas.
And started to skid.

Go get the camcorder.
One-hundred-thousand wins!
Now, that’s a lot of dollars.
Soon, taping did begin.

Hiding in the bushes,
When Memaw passed that way.
While doing many wheelies,
They videoed her play. 

Then all of a sudden,
She rode toward the bush.
One last wheelie- Yeehawww!
Then, she landed on her tush!

This is wonderfully funny, Dane! Thank you for giving me a great laugh today. I love the images and your writing here is incredibly skillful. A masterpiece of "country road" art! You really have a talent for writing about family members. Now check your email and send me verse one of PJ. I may not have power in a few hours when Tropical Storm Claudette passes over Panama City. Love, Carolyn
