Turning

if you kick
my kick
stand

my
bike
will fall

down
and all
the base

ball cards
and clothes
pins will cease

to
spin
and make

noise again
like a brok
en muffler 

or a motor
cycle now
just sits

there where
a don Quixote
kid kicks it and

says to 
his friend
Sancho it's 

dead

...why did the bicycle need a kick stand? Because it was two tired. ;), I enjoyed this, burning curiosity for the censored word. xomo

Hahaha love that joke it really spokes me up. I was curious myself about the "censored" word. Seems I shouldn't have split the word "muff ler"; so I fixed it lol.
