My Trike

My trike is a grown up three-wheel bike
It was made just for me.
It takes me where I want to go,
Even when I don't ... Yes, indeed!

As I coast along the road and then...
Come to a stop sign, it's hard,
But I push on and continue my ride.
For me, it's important to start.

Sometimes I think that the wheels get tired
And I take a little trip.
The bike leans to the side, I hit the ground
I hate it when I slip.

Yes, my trike gives me a hard time.
But , no matter what I go through
It's still my bike that I like.
I call it a workout with my trike.

Hi Darlene, Nice! I never experienced a trike ride but what a great name for a vehicle. Do you need a license? Can it accommodate passengers? What fun! Earl

I like this poem, Darlene. I have an adult trike too. I love it because it makes me feel so free when riding it but it's easy to take a tumble when one of those back wheels slips into a ditch. Be careful, my friend!

I had a trike when in Warton,I fell off the bike,climbing uo a hill. The bike landed on top of me and I tried to lift it from me, but could not. A passer by car driver stopped and helped me out. I was very lucky. I sold my bike to someone that wanted to have it.
