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.
