Scootin' along


Riding my scooter on a hot summers day,
waking the senses that come my way.

I'm scootin' along, scootin' along, scootin' along down the road.

I feel the coolness of an orchard with the sprinklers mist,
the splat of some bugs they never seem to miss.

I'm scootin along, scootin' along, scootin' along down the road.

I smell the food in the air, makes my tummy start to growl,
Or cows in a pasture, they can be rather foul.

I'm scootin' along, scootin' along, scootin' along down the road.

The Harley dudes wave, down low with their hand,
They accept you as one of them, you're part of their band.

I'm scootin' along, scootin' along, scootin along down the road.

I can only go 35 It's a slow little pace.
It's OK with me, but I won't win any race.

I'm scootin' along, scootin' along, scootin' along down the road.

I can ride a 100 miles just on one gallon,
Just me and my honey, together we're palin'

We're scootin' along, scootin' along, scootin' along down the road.

A scooter could be fun....but I have a hard time riding a bike, wonder how I'd do with a scooter. I am such a clutz.
but that is some dang good milage.
I hope you and your "pal" have many miles of scooting around together.

I'd love a scooter, especially after this poem. Nice job.

Looks like fun. I want to see a picture with you and "your honey" riding the scooters!

btw - did you know that you can get helmets that allow you to talk with one another? It can also be blue-toothed in to listen to some tunes.

Unknown said...

Wow! That is some impressive gas mileage! I lI've that you have that scooter with your man. Sounds so fun & romantic!

Tracey said...

You make that sound so cool, and the harley guys, I love that. So so you live an area that is not too crazy with cars? 'cuz California would be darn scary, the way cars whiz around here. Let's see the rest of your scooter -- what color?

I thought of you today while watching Larry Crowne at the matinee. There's scooters involved in the story line. I liked it and I'm glad I didn't read the reviews before seeing the movie. I happen to like romantic comedies, especially when they're about people in my own age group... 50 somethings. Yikes! Anyway, have fun on your scooter. Thanks for the sweet comments you leave.

Leontien said...

And thank you for your comment on my "friends" post!

Sounds like fun! I'd rather be scootin' along rather than driving my old delapidated mini-van that costs $60 to fill!
