The Ole Roadrunner

The Ole Roadrunner (For Sara from Uncle Johnny) June 2015 Want to tell you a story Bout a bird that can run. He can fly up in trees, but To race is more fun. He’s a runner at heart He lurks like a trickster Darts out on the road Goes faster and faster. He’s sleek and he’s quick Keep watch and don’t blink Out he will jump And be gone in a wink. Not easy to catch Roadrunners are wary To chase is to fail Ask Wile E Coyote’! Birds like to sing To cheep and to peep. This one is different He likes to Beep. So when out in the car Keep your eye on the road If you see something running Might be this Ole Bird. Beep Beep!
