Back Seat Blues

He bought himself a tandem In the hope that he would meet A suitable young lady who’d Ride on his back seat. He took it to the Dance Hall But didn’t stand a chance Cycling not seeming to fit in With ideas of modern romance He’d offer one a lift and See her expression slip When handed a bike cape And a pair of cycle clips Then he had his eureka moment When he persuaded one to try it Selling it as essential part of his New Calorie controlled diet. The idea rapidly spread And much to his surprise He managed to turn it into A very lucrative franchise He’s a billionaire these days His happiness complete As the ladies queue up To ride on his back seat.
