Man on the Motorcycle
The
Man on the motorcycle
Can go anywhere
He
Must be
A very important man
A teacher in fact
Going so fast
Making students jump
Out of his way
He toots his little horn
From just behind
To startle
And make you move
To the other side of the path
And he looks irritated
When you look back at him
As if you are in his way
A little bit of power
Of a little pedal
On a little cycle
