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.
