Ode to the Humble Bicycle

O noble two-wheeled transporter
You make the world less drab,
You take us rolling in the sunshine
And combat inner- thigh flab.


How I love thee, bicycle!
Gallant steed of swift get-aways,
You whisked us off in 6 speeds
Every school holidays.


Hail me a rickshaw
It's the only way to ride,
A cyclo or a pedicab
To see the world outside.







Prostate squeezing saddle
And bottom bruising bumps.
Skin tight, neon cycle wear
Clings to BMXy rumps.



Ecologically sound vehicle,
Carbon neutral friend.

I hope we pedal-push through parklands
Together ‘til the very end.
