The Race

In our late teens down at the pub we talked of things we liked. Rock 'n roll,brunettes and blondes, Mustangs and Norton Bikes. Time's moved on and things have changed and all of this has led to talk of laying paving slabs and weatherproofing sheds. Instead of worshipping our favourite bands like Slade, Led Zep and Bolan I now find that I hold a torch for the eldest of the Nolans. Greasy skin and acne were the only things to blight us long since replaced by varicose veins and rheumatoid arthritis. The book of life we all must learn has reached the centre page the staples coldly telling us that we've now reached middle age. Still, if life is but a long hard race, the TT if you like, I'm thankful I'm still in it and I ain't come off me bike.
