These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

Going Around Together

Round and round we always go
to the store and back.
You're ahead and I'm behind,
but we have no lack.

Together we will always be
like iron, we are wrought.
To carry others is our plan.
"Be selfless," we are taught.

We give the gift of exercise
when folks manipulate
our wondrous tools each living day.
They end up looking great!

We hang around where'er we're placed
as silent as the dew,
and snap to service at your beck
demanded just by you.

So faithful we as lifelong hound
with chain we are unchained
released from lethargy at once.
Each route must be maintained.

Among our friends we wait and watch
as mini statues rare.
The master comes to each when done
with shopping over there.

Some spritely youth make us to spin
throughout the land of France
a race to win, and when it's done
in joy, they all will dance.

We hike up ev'ry mountain pass.
We roll the other side.
Each leafy mile of tweet's salute
we smile at Greatest Guide.
