'Do you think I should get a motor-bike? '
said Gracie to her Mum.
'Not this year, dear, ' her Mum replied,
'Some books might be more fun'
'But I would love to buzz along
much faster than a scooter.
Does a motor-bike need to have a horn? '
'No, dear, I think it's a hooter.'
'But I could go to the shops for you,
and get things on your list.
I'd be there and back so quickly
I wouldn't be even missed.'
'You're very kind, Grace, and I know
a motor-bike would be heaven.
But we must keep the law, you see.
And this year you're only seven.'
