A Pernicious Trot

Springing with a boom zooming through the crowds, Short rhythmic bursts of churning rage, High octane rating strong gripping treads; A two-wheel wonder of our sophisticated age. Hard ridden machine crushing with pain, Passing scenes with speeding cars, Illusions veiled in the rattle of chains; Super drain for thrust the three horsepower. Deep pull for breath unnerving gushes of air, Quick sprint for life rapid leap towards glory, Fast nauseating climb oil dampened shudders; Grinding gallop to speed wild reverberating fury. This way and that low energetic drives, The way into adventures a way of life.
