The Aluminum Steed

Written for the Taboo Words contest

See how it moves!
It shimmies, it grooves.
Down the street, it flies
in a wave of cheers and cries
see the shining spokes, front and back
an aluminum steed-it has no lack
of manpower and speed.
I have no need
of engines, horsepower or gas
it zips along with sass
to school, work, or home
around the town, I roam.

At day's end, I sit and recoup,
boy oh boy, my legs are pooped!
