Red Bike

Should I run or hike
Or should I ride a 
Red bike
Which do I like?
Walking is kind of 
Dumb
Riding is kind of 
Fun
Shiny, new and red
It’s the only thing I
Can think of, 
when I go to bed

the other day
on my way
to school
I hit a cat
And my tire didn’t
Go flat

I hit an old
Guy
And my bike didn’t
Die

I hit a dog
Well… oh god
Not a log

Tore seat, bent tire
Crooked handle bars
Broken bell
Set it on fire
It won’t sell

I guess I will hike
Instead of riding
My broke
Red bike
