Freewheelin' Poetry

OK, so this is adorable.  Thank you to my friend Esther Sinasac for taking inspiration from my artwork.  Maybe I will now take inspiration from her poetry!

THE FREEWHEELERS by Esther Sinasac
(based on the artwork of Connie Christensen)

Wheelin’ it down the street on my bike

Free as a bird, my wheels take me by

The white picket fences and perfect green lawns

Come along with me! Oh do come along.

Ride in my little red wagon

Come one, come all

Who will ride in my little red wagon?

Behind these wheels, who will I haul?

A camel with lips on whose head rests a crown

A beaver and a moose, singing True North songs

The Mounties stand guard

The wedding preparations full speed ahead

The cupcakes are made

The baker is delivering before heading to bed

To a party we are going

Bring the wine, cheese and your babe!

Bring your prettiest flamingo

And your fanciest giraffe

A bouquet of flowers

But please make me laugh

The party critters arrive with glitter to spare

The butterflies follow the princess heading to the fair

Take me riding down highways

Through deserts and past twinkling lagoons

Up mountains and fishing, be it midnight or high noon

The wheels on my bike spin round and round

I hope one day to be freewheelin’ through your fine town.
