CHAPTER 1
Travel on a twisty road. Fast and slow, then whoa! Greet the city with a smile Hustle, bustle, GO!
Say hello and hold an end. Jump rope, one, two, three. Rhyme bluebells with cockleshells Eevy, ivy, SQUEE!
Join the ladies as they walk. Skip across each crack. Pick a tempo for our feet— Tippy, tappy, CLACK!
Tip and tap a city song That's playing on the street. Rock-n-roll the razz-ma-tazz And hip-hop to the beat.
Cheer hooray! The train is near. Scramble to our seat. Watch the world go whizzing by— Whoo-oo, too-oo, TWEET!
Scurry up the steep, steep stairs. Step and hop, then stop. Wait until the carriage moves Swaying, neighing, CLOP!
