Two Riding On a Single

Two riding on a single
Man! How fast that bike will go
Down the hill around the curve
Blow wind blow

At the very bottom piled up
In a culvert drain
In great agony and pain
Totally distained

Crumpled metal, torn clothes
Bleeding and blood stains
Harsh words from parents
Tears as soap and water cleaned

All the cuts and bruises
And clothes that had to be changed
What an ending to Christmas
The joy of Santa's gift

Lying dented and scuffed bent
Beside the porch needing to be fixed

I can almost picture the bike gaining speed and the wind whipping in their hair as they ride. The sheer joy before the fall.

I can really identify with this one. With me it was Figure Skates. Me lying on the ice seeing stars in the daytime. Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed it. Love, Lainie
