Just Retired My Bicycle

I ride a bicycle
    just retired my tricycle
  No stove, no oven, no range
    Some folks think me strange

  'cos I use the sun for cooking
    and I catch folks curious, looking
  Sleep on the ground
    all night, and sound
  up at the crack of dawn... 

  My carbon footprint is zero
    I'm a back-to-nature hero
