Merry-up

Treading snow getting your V-Twin by the roadside is a workout I could do without. I had feast and festivities on my mind; skipped lunch to dig into the cooking that awaited me at home. Not a spark of life in sight on Christmas Eve!
As I spied any vehicle or mobile phone signal—whoa, a bunch of kids from the neighborhood came dragging a large towing trolley.
“Where’d you get that thing?”
“Hey, Mr. Pete! ‘Twas lying outside the ol’ junkyard,” chirped one kid.
“Let’s put it to good use fellas, we got to repair and rebuild—not throw and waste this season.”
“Yay” they yelled, helping me get the flat tire towed on a joyous sleigh.
