Lesson 4: Safety First Inside the Vehicle
Read the poem.
THE KING OF THE ROAD
Aidena L. Nuesca
“I am the king of the road,” said the jeepney.
“I can take you wherever you want to go;
I can take you there in a minute or two
Just relax and let me go.”
“I can take as many passengers as I can
Just cling to the bars, when I am full
Hold fast to my bars
If you’re lucky you’ll be in school.”
