my ode to the humble bycicle
Folder:
Live long and Prosper Riding a bicycle you are free
To enjoy the road; liberty
You can use footpaths too
Back alleys help you
To cover more ground
Cycling is well sound
Even in the pouring rain
Something very gratifying
No problems parking up
Funny how always in luck
You might get a bit wet too
Might need a radiator or two
But cheaper than turning key
Cycling costs you no money
After an initial investment
Down a boot sale, a tenner
Cycle to hearts content
Unless your wheel is bent
Takes you back also too
Earlier years, cycling youth
Seems ground covered now
That’s if your body allows
You might not be
As fit as me
I’m as fit as a preverbal flea
Cycles though are a joy
Should be something to enjoy
Even in hail and rain
Tho miss snowy days
Better with more gears
And a lack of any fear
Hi viz jacket, lights too
Both will really help you
British roads are narrow
Some trips end in sorrow
Even cycling champions
Get knocked off bikes
Like the best of us
The moral of this rhyme
I really do advise
Cycling for getting around
And for keeping healthy
Sound as a pound
Keep those kneed bending
And keep on peddling
For fuel efficient days
And for keeping
Chiropractors away
So have a peachy day
nothing left to say
