A Tale of Two Tales
Santa was good to me when six years old
Several presents for me, blessed was I
Bike under tree and I had never rode
Learned to ride that day, felt that I could fly
Then again when I was fourty-seven
Received bicycle as a Christmas gift
On that bike could fly like wind_ enliven
On it once more downhill moved so swift
Then there was slight accident on that bike
Pain and agony ended up being end
Surgery for injured back was my plight
Never road that bike again; there's more, friend
Three bikes in life, I've been blessed to posses
I've told two tales; one more poem due, I guess.
