Road Trip

It had no radio
and couldn't fly at all
every wheel would wobble
because they were too small
~ red and rusted wagon,
a limo for my dog...

Craig, belated congratulations for your delightful POTD! What a wonderful picture of childhood - a boy and his dog with a "wobbly" old wagon as a canine limo! It's a great picture. Blessings to you!

Very cute, you gave me my first giggle of May 11th - hey Mother's Day. So glad I found this gem. Oh, those red wagons. It was my little sister that I pulled around. All the best ... CayCay
