We're Racing, Racing Down the Walk

We're racing, racing down the walk,
Over the pavement and round the block.
We rumble along till the sidewalk ends-
Felicia and I and half our friends.
Our hair flies backwards. It's whish and whirr!
She roars at me and I shout at her
As past the porches and garden gates
We rattle and rock
On our roller skates.

What makes the sound of whish and whirr?

turning skates

flying hair

clapping hands
