Reckless

　

Riding a tricycle
hard work
when you are three
On hard and soft dirt
old cracked grass
a back yard gone to ruin
Ah ha! ah ha!
grumm rumm ah ha!
you shout loud
You pump pedals
to the limit
fast and hard
hard and fast
you turn
more than once
tip and topple
catch your self
your daddy watches you
slip and slide
faster and faster
scratches his head
mulling it over　
“I guess it will be awhile
before you drive a car, son”
