The Drifters Take the lead! Take the lead! Now go this way! Now that! I tumble over you and you and you! Keep up, keep up, keep up! Let’s skitter down this frozen tar together. Hop, skip, jump! I hurdle! You hurdle! Faster with the wind we go! Under those wheels and circle, circle, circle in the middle and STOP! Now, off we go! Tumble, little acrobats! More drifters join our clan! Spun! Spin! Keep spinning! Isn’t this fun? Hey, where’d you all go?! Don’t join that snow! Here I go with another flock that just joined up. Ready to go the block?! Many wheels to bumper us here and there. Let’s dance, have a parade as the old man shoves us down the road. Twirl! Leap! Tumble! Fly! Bye-bye, to the child in the window, laughs so much, he cries. And here comes the bend in the road. See you guys! Time for me to blow, over the bank, up that hill to join an immaculate scene beneath that spindly giant once green. In this yard I’ll wait for the child when it’s time to roll, roll, roll! 3/5/22 37 lines, free verse I know there’s rhymes at times, but free verse can employ it to. Inspiration:
