Talking Too Much

He loved his motorcycle, riding all day
When he rode it, all she could do was pray
He knew she was frightened by the machine
Yet he knew she was on the fence between

Finally, she agreed to take a ride on his bike
Although her talking told him what she was like
He knew she’d regret the ride as he turned south,
For a fly does not enter a closed mouth
