‘Get the motor running head out on the highway looking for adventure’

Well it is only the council road with potholes but Oliver races his pushbike

Walkman headphones sound ‘Born to be wild’ or Attention Deficit Disorder

But there is no doubt in the bikers’ mind that winter is recycling fast time


Orange banana saddle ape hanger handle bars and Che Guevara bandana

Another day for many revolutions as the wheels keep turning in tandem

He abhors bicycle clips as Oliver needs torn jeans to be one of the gang

No leather jacket so the hand me down brown corduroy one takes its place


Pedals turning downhill at full speed hard breaks and sharp swerve to the left

Another 360 degree circle wonderful skid marks adorn his pride and the road

It was easy today because morning dew and pink purple petals greased the path

For once the corroded chain has not come off after that creaking gear change


Countenance smirks on his face because has done it again and he feels so much

More achievement than if he was doing his homework left pathetically languorous

At home where his goody two shoes brother calculates tangents and radius

Oliver is an action boy full of mettle and metal and his scent is lubricant oil


‘Take the world in a love embrace and explode into space’ and dear emotions

Run high almost octane fuelled while his well-behaved sisters play octaves

From Amadeus on Bechstein or Steinway pined to bored ebony and ivory keys

Oliver hammers down wildly as the way forward beckons driven by freedom


He is oblivious to fragrances blossoms and bloom and the sweet scent of nature

Could not care less about chirping birds and the warm temperature resides only

In his teenage blood and guts as he rides through a pile of litter in which rusty

Debris mingles with pneumatic tyres and a very loose spring punctures the air
