When We Drive

When We Drive

took a detour

from the traffic

adjusted the seat

lifted the wheel

and she wasted no time

climbing over the console

to assume her throne

while I work the pedals

she works the wheel

and off we go

round and round

merry-go-round

and the bird gets outta the way

and the puddle

gets a hit

‘cause she don’t miss

and the butterfly

disappears right quick

and the rabbits know

to stay put

and the worms well

it’s tough being a worm

and she loves that song

turn it up!

singing along

laughing like hyenas

round and round

we go

nice and slow

“faster, mama,

can’t we go any faster!”

yeah, no
