Matchstick Bikes 

To tinkers and toilers 
     I salute, 
From mending boilers 
     to weaving jute, 
Man and boy 
     for generations, 
I will unemploy 
     your occupations.

Time is ticking down
I’ve got eighty yards to go
It’s the last game of the season
The fans are sitting down
Our mascot is a clown
And I don’t even know the reason

Coach signals in a play
I get flagged for delay
The defense has eaten my receivers
My wristband is befuddled

What's with you all guys in
your spandex on spokes,
bearing down like demons 
on us poor ambulating folks?

It won't be so funny,
surely no little joke,
if you crash into us
we'll (both) look like 
broken egg-yolks

So, try to have courtesy
at least, show some respect
cause when you're 
travelling that...

The deadly white of winter had descended.
Mountain high piles of snow braced the phone poles.
Mufflers donned we left for school unattended
for mother lay crying in her bed, we were not whole.

Father left many nights ago it seemed
we did not know the why, the what or...

What's cooler and juicier
Than a long-striped rime of green,
Whose internals are fortified with
An explosion of mesmerizing desire?

Or a total circle of green without stripes,
Protectively enclosing the best of eats,                ...

Wonder how police on bikes arrest people
"Alright, get in the basket, you did something illegal
Get your bum in there
It's just like a chair
Feet away from spokes or we'll land on our keesters"...

How do cops on bikes arrest someone
They say, “Get in the basket till I finish my muffin”
Now why do cops
Love donut shops
Donuts tend to make them big and strong and tough-n...

Four pedals rusting --

screech of  bikes

Along the hikes of thunder spikes 
The rest of us are scared
Nobody likes the lightning strikes
That catch us unprepared
Except the tykes who ride the bikes
That somebody repaired.

On gravel mountain path,
    underneath shadowed pine crowns: friends ride mountain bikes,
      where none hath
        neath sapphire sky.
  Roller coaster, fun lighting strikes,
    runs bye.

Hissing cars
Swishing trucks
Rumbling bikes
Life is a highway
Really?
Combusting cylinders 
Pumping pistons
Turning crankshaft
Spinning flywheel
Engaging transmission
Motoring drive
Tranferring power 
Rolling tires
Hissing 
Swishing 
Rumbling  
Crash and burn
Life goes on...
