My little red wagon,
with 4 red wheels
I always pulled it
behind my heels.
It seemed so little
To everyone, but
To me it was
A great big truck.
I took it everywhere
That I went
For shopping, groceries,
And any event.
My dad and brother
Took their turn
To pull me in it
Till I could learn.
It was round in front
And square in back
The handle was long
And painted black.
I finally learned
To paddle it fast
I won all the races,
Alone never last.
In the winter, I parked it
In the shed
Had no chains,
Had to use a sled.
