New Bike

I got a new bike
I'm happy as you
can tell

the old bike was
rusty, troublesome and
would often fail

I have had problems
with the gears for
so long

that I couldn't believe
how easy it is to change them
it's like a new song

I love the red color
and the lightweight frame,
the thinner wheels

I really like the fast way
I ride and the sleek
way it feels

and best of all that
is when my husband said
I'd worked hard

and actually earned this new ride,
that I can now compete-least it's
what I'm working toward
