Tandem Bicycle

(Can be sung to the music “Trees,” 
 Lyrics, Joyce Kilmer)

I thought that I would never see
   a bicycle to ride with three!

Back in the forties, I was pressed
   to get on board and meet the test.

With mom and dad, one sunny day,
   we took a ride on it for play!

The three of us in summerwear
   and a warm breeze blowing our hair!

Six legs, as one, spun round and round,
   as rubber tires whirled on the ground.

Oh, what a fun and happy time!
   Our bicycle for three- sublime!
