Dress it up and make it sell;
Fill it with the rich and well;

Close the door and bolt it tight;
We’ve no need for further light!

When I was a boy we had access to numerous motorbikes and go-carts. My father refused to buy us any kind of motorised vehicles because he did not want us to get injured. But most of our friends and family had some sort of motorbike. As youths, the parents always set the governor really low. This
