The Bike with Zero Wheels

by Gregory R Schelske

I rode a bike
with zero wheels
and zero wheels
makes zero squeals-
And zero wheels
just so you know
makes riding bikes
very slow
and very slow is slow indeed
cuz’ standing still
is my only speed.

Funny little nursery rhyme here. Enjoyed it much!

Yes, I agree with MAR, this has a playful Dr. Seuss quality to it. And despite its subject, it also works in metaphor for the human spirit.

*giggle* So glad to be informed "standing still" is a speed in relation to bikes! I'm not the only one with one hanging on the wall talking junk at me about riding it.
