Poems A-Z Wagon

6/6/2010

0 Comments

 
                               The Radio Flyer that carried my friend

                       The hay wagon ride at October’s end

                      The seat in the car that faced to the back

                      The kids making faces, through rear window crack

                      The little wagon, that rolled up the street

                      The wheel that would squeak…

                     And the ice cream was sweet

                     My buddy and me with horsepower one

                      Holes in our shoes, but man it was fun!

                     Our wagon we left to sit in the rain

                     To gather some rust, and childhood pain

                     Just an old wagon, no power of it’s own

                    To pull through the streets

                    While your childhood is on loan

                    The handle hangs down, in the middle it’s bowed

                    At my command, it goes where it’s towed

                    Carrying treasure like toys sticks and pearls

                   Along with my memory, of pony-tailed girls

                    It’s long gone now, sold at the sale

                   But it took me a ways…up life’s little trail
