By Samruddhi Dole
The wheel was invented
And so was I, soon after
Everyone enjoyed me
I filled the air with laughter
I helped them reach the destination
And enjoy the cool breeze
Play around with friends and family
Glad to be a part of their tease
But then came the motorcycle
Followed by the fancy cars
They did my work better
And left me with bitter scars
Due to lack of exercise
Eventually they come to me
When they are full of flab
They cycle through to fit in the tee
Yet, even today the little ones
Demand me on their birthdays
Those glees of innocence and love
Fill my heart, leaving me gay
I am the ultimate pillar, the support
For the underprivileged, the poor
Thus was proved by Jyoti Kumari of Bihar
In difficult times of lockdown, this year
So, on this world bicycle's day
I urge you to pedal, my friend
And help our mother nature
In preventing her polluted end!
