Tricycle Bicycle Bebacle

As a kid I tried to ride a tricycle down a hill Start was fine, but as speed inclined the handlebars shaking grew To wobbling crescendo, and the trike bike ejected me the dill. I also tried billycarts galore racing down dogleg hill slope descent Trouble was where did you go when car appeared coming up the road No choice but to lay back, and slide under parked car, to dent with intent. You ended up stuck, jammed under the car all covered in grease and blood Still, alive you were, to race another day down Evil Kenevil hill The trick was to use tiny ball-bearing wheels on flat-bed missile scud. I'll never know how I survived the dare-devil trike and billycart rides Down tracks and roads with no brakes, helmet or boots Surviving all the grazes scratches, bumps, bruises and back-side glides.
