093 - Biking

I know this bloke who likes

His collection of motorbikes

In his mind they are by far

Better than a motor car

But I must disagree

It’s a fact of pedantry

Two wheels are worse than four

You can always count on more

In my car I’m nice and dry

This you cannot deny

On a bike you will get wet

And other traffic is a threat

I’m not saying as a rule

That bikes don’t look super cool

They shoot by really fast

Riding must be a blast

But I’ve no helmet on my head

I’m less likely to end up dead

I probably won’t skid

On a wet cattle grid

So I’ll stick with my saloon

Consider myself opportune

That I don’t have to worry

About being crushed by a lorry
