The Drifters
The Drifters

Take the lead! Take the lead! Now
go this way! Now that!
I tumble over you and you and you!
Keep up, keep up, keep up!
Let’s skitter down this frozen tar together.
Hop, skip, jump!
I hurdle! You hurdle! Faster
with the wind we go!
Under those wheels and
circle, circle, circle in the middle
and STOP!

Now, off we go!

Tumble, little acrobats!
More drifters join our clan!
Spun! Spin! Keep spinning!
Isn’t this fun?
Hey, where’d you all go?!
Don’t join that snow!

Here I go
with another flock
that just joined up.
Ready to go the block?!
Many wheels to bumper us
here and there.
Let’s dance, have a parade
as the old man shoves us down the road.

Twirl! Leap! Tumble! Fly!
Bye-bye, to the child in the window,
laughs so much, he cries.
And here comes the bend in the road.
See you guys!
Time for me to blow,
over the bank, up that hill
to join an immaculate scene
beneath that spindly giant once green.
In this yard I’ll wait for the child
when it’s time to roll, roll, roll!

I know there’s rhymes at times, but free verse can employ it to.
