Roller skates with special bearings.
Rubber wheels and all mod cons.
Made to measure toe caps, gripping
Ankles secured and ready to run.

Hang on! Where's that book;
The big one?
Just the size to fit my b-m.
On the new macadamed surface,
This really is the way to run.

Forget the feet, except for kick start.
Knees under chin, hill here I come.
70's skateboard, eat your heart out.
For now it's wheels and book and bum.
