I Need A Mailbox Scooter

That mailbox way out on the road

It's getting hard for me to walk

Due to my bad heart con-di-tion

There are days that I really balk.


I need some sort of trans-por-ta-tion

To that old mailbox I have to go

Some days, two treks I have to make

Must be someting I can do, I know!


If only I had some sort of "Scooter"

Designing one, I think I can

Doesn't have to be so fancy

Ideas in my head I'll scan.


At a garage sale I got an idea

I saw a "Scooter" that was discarded

So off to home I took my treasure

From JR, my treasure I guarded.


Out back, there's an old, old privet

Many a year its never been used

On the "Scooter" I shall fix it

Then to the mailbox, I'll have no excuse.

Now I have it almost done

Had some help but not from JR

A coat of paint will do the trick

Could this be my new "Parade Car"?


JR took note of my vehicle

Amused and with a surprised look

Just standing there in a stupor he said

"I think you've read the wrong book".


I want you to know

My "Scooter" Drives really well

People smile and stop me to ask

"If my vehicle is for sell?"


"Certainly not, after all my work"

Is what I always say

Don't mid trekking to the mailbox

'Cause "Scooter" really makes my day.
