One happy day I got my first bike
Impatient thought I'd give it a try,
Well I hadn't rode one before in my life
scrambled on, you could say I felt high.
Keen as mustard to impress my Ma,
without wobbling I circled the block
with her watching I shouted "no feet,"
The sight surely gave her a shock.
Once more out of sight then a reappearance
and despite my mother's demands
I balanced like a spreadeagle X
Defiantly shouting "no hands."
By this time my ma was aghast and shaking
next ride round really beggared belief,
My cockiness gone, legs akimbo,
I cried to my mother "no teeth!!!"
