A Cinquain* About a Favorite Toy - Scooter


Scooter on the left of vehicle.












Scooter
Scooter
Clunky, rusty
Slowly gallumps down hill
My dearest, sweetest riding toy
A Joy


My children had scooters. Actually, the process was more like this: Playskool rider, tricycle, bigwheel, bicycle with training wheels, bicycle, scooter, skateboard, car. Oh, the process of growing up. I never had a scooter, but I saw how much my kids treasured it.  Maybe one day, when I'm old,
I'll be gallumping on my scooter.   Sort of like the lady below. 

She seems to be styling.
