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!
