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
