Spike took a hike
Mike liked his bike
They looked just alike
Mike booked with bike
Spike looked for bike
Mike booked from Spike
Spike liked his trike
Spike booked from tyke
Tyke looked for trike
Trike booked with Spike
Mike looked like Spike
Mike booked for trike
something cheery and light...
JUST ME AND YOU
two wheels spinning, hearts beating as one,
a bicycle built for two*, just me and you.
our laughter echoing, the world a blur
the wind in our hair, the sun on our face
through winding roads and sun-kissed skies
together we pedaled forward, side by side.
we chased the wind, with adventurous hearts
sharing love, laughter, and tears as the miles grew.
we rode through rain and shine, through night and day,
through heartache and pain, through every up and down, we rode as one.
with every turn, memories were made
of trials we faced, of triumphs we won.
the memories we made are like a treasure chest
of moments lived, of lessons learned, of wisdom begun.
the world has slowed as we ride side by side
yet we pedal forward with the wind at our backs.
hand in hand, a sense of peace abides
the rhythm of the pedals and our hearts still beat as one.
* Bicycle Built for Two is a popular song, written in 1892 by British songwriter Harry Dacre

On a bicycle built for two
I want to ride through French Alps with you
We'll stop in a villa, you in rose and vanilla
And we'll sample the local fondue
We'll rent a romantic chateau
Buy a bottle of chilled Veuve Clicquot
Sit under the stars, the whole evening is ours
Toast, sip, repeat, smoke a clove
Wake up to the birds and the bees
Chirping and buzzing in trees
Wind chimes are wooing, coffee is brewing
Yellow quilts, lilacs, silk sheets
I was wondering if it'd be okay
If we remained here just one more day
They're predicting cold weather, we'll stay warm together
Big snowstorms are coming our way
A
Tree
O Triangle O
XX Decorated XX
With clear, white sparkling
Lights, angels hover near
'Tis a beautiful sight soooooo
Celebrate, stay up late, soon Santa's
OOOOOOO Here OOOOOOO
OOO Joy, peace OOO
XX And good cheer XX
OOOO Packages wait OOOO
OOO Children curious OOO
XX Slip to investigate XX
Surprise in their eyes so wide
When waiting outside their main prize
Bicycle built for two, me and you
Crash
Bang
Bam
Piled in a jam
A grand slam
Never young
Again, dame

For Brian
A walk in a field of flowers,
a walk in the park,
a walk on the beach,
and a bicycle built for two.
Mountain hikes, long drives,
long rides, and a bicycle built for two.
Morning coffee and rides to work,
and a bicycle built for two.
Rainy days, or sunny days,
and a bicycle built for two.
