Our son loves to sing
The wheels on the bus
go round and round
We often sing along, too,
It’s a catchy song, except
When the spare tire needs repair
And I wake to find another tire— flat
Or worse yet: still another
wheel falls off on New Circle Road
Or yet another catastrophe
strikes and we can’t
Go to work
Take the boy to a sitter
Or even take the car
To Five Star Car & Tire Repair
Oh, woe is me,
when our car’s wheels won’t go
round and round
and I’m stuck in a muddle with you.
