Exercycle Races

There's an excercycle race on Down at the local gymn One guy's clearly out in front But others closing in All are pedalling frantically They like to win these races Each one with a determined look As sweat pours down their faces There's an exercycle race on Down at the local Gym This one's for ladies only It's part of keeping trim Each one of them has extra fat A reservoir in case Additional energy's required To make the finals race There's an exercycle race on Down at the local gym Vast calories are burning off A race for life and limb The mirrors on the wall will show A worthy use of time As most entrants likely should admit They're more than past their prime In the exercycle races Down at the local gymn At least one person's thinking on What it is that's asked of him All this time and money spent Just maybe could be making power To put on to the national grid Then charged out by the hour If we could store this energy For use in something good Like the greening of the planet Then we probabubbly should In some big battery somewhere Or tank or holding pond And draw on it when lakes are dry Next summer and beyond
