Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Freewheeling

We’ll tell the naysayers to go take a hike -
we're kids at heart and having so much fun!
I’m sitting on the handlebars in the blazing sun
whilst hubby's freewheeling our old pedal bike.
So what if we're pensioners with graying hair
we're both on the cycle, we don't have a care -
we'll tell the naysayers to go take a hike!
