The New Bikes

I was just a little tyke Santa brought to each a bike. Proud to say one was mine I was high upon cloud nine. The color was a greenish blue It wasn't big, but it was new. Wayne got one bright red and said, "You touch my bike, you are dead". I wasn't the best bike rider child I rode slow but Wayne rode wild. He always thought he was best One day he put his skills to test. He ran over a board, having a nail Turned his wheel, then he fell. Flipped his bike and he went splat! Walking home with both tires flat. Wrecking his bike, he wasn't glad  He was afraid to tell our dad. I couldn't wait to tell our folks Wayne didn't laugh, at my little jokes. Thought he was best in everything he did After his wreck, laughed at by kids. His friend Russell helped repair his bike They told me I was an irritating tyke. That's a memory I have of Wayne I was always the one, for him to blame. He's my brother and I love him so My only brother I have and know.

Additional Notes:
I realize splat isn't a good word, but that was my thoughts of him, falling over, at that time. I used a little childish grammar as it were thought of in my younger years. Memories of the "good old days".
