The WheelWright

The wheelwright cut, chiseled, fashioned, and shaped.

wheels from wood are what he made

The craft of the wheel Wright was high in demand

all of it made and shaped by his hand

Over rocky roads carrying heavy loads

that is how adventurous families travel down the roads

They depended on the wheel Wright’s work of art

For the journey ahead, the wheels played a big part.

Beautiful wheels, rims, spokes, hubs, and woods

made the ugliest buckboard look good

All the horse-drawn carriages are gone

But the legacy of the wheel Wright will continue.
