And decided to be a car.
When Mommy called him to breakfast,
He ran on his little tire legs
And put on his brakes
With a loud “Screech.”
Danny said, “I’m a little red car
With shiny silver trim.
Beep beep, zoom zoom zoom.”
And Mommy just smiled.
When Danny went outdoors to play,
He ran behind his daddy.
Daddy was up high on the tractor
Mowing across the yard.
“Beep, beep, zoom zoom zoom,
Can you hear my horn,
And can you hear my engine roar?
I’m louder than your lawn mower,”
Danny yelled, and he was.
And Daddy just smiled.
Little Sister Susie
Was playing with her blocks
Out on the big front porch.
Danny ran all around her.
He said, “Can you hear my horn,
And can your hear my engine roar?
I’m a little red car
With shiny silver trim,
Beep beep, zoom zoom zoom.”
And Little Sister Susie just smiled.
When Mommy called Danny to lunch,
He made loud car noises on his way,
“Beep beep, zoom zoom zoom,
Roar roar roar, screech.
Little red cars don’t eat carrots,”
Danny said and pushed his plate away.
“They just each ice cream.”
In her great big voice, Mommy said,
“It is time for a nap NOW.”
And Mommy did not smile.
After Danny’s nap, he went outside
To drive his little red car.
He roared right through the flower beds,
Pushing purple and yellow pansies
Right down flat on the ground.
He raced through mud puddles
And got big brown spots on his little tire legs.
He went right between Daddy and a neighbor,
“Beep beep, zoom zoom zoom.”
And Daddy did not smile.
Danny went back in the house,
Where Little Sister Susie
Was playing with her dolls.
“Beep beep, zoom, zoom zoom,
Get out of my way,” he said.
He pushed her dolls so hard
That they fell down
Beside her on the floor.
She picked up all her dolls.
And Little Sister Susie did not smile.
That evening Daddy took Danny
On his lap to talk to him.
“Son,” he said, God loves you,
And Mommy and I love you.
We want you to be a good little boy.
When you are a little red car,
You do things that make us sad.”
“I’m sorry, Daddy,” said Danny.
“Could I be a big black truck?
BEEP BEEP, ZOOM ZOOM ZOOM!”
