Random Doggerel, 9


Random Doggerel

In these grim times I miss my bike—
I used to ride it everywhere:
To school (I tried to take much care,
Avoid a very careless strike

Of someone whom I’d pedal by.)
I’d pay attention: Trucks and cars
Can bang you—fill your head with stars—
And leave you staring at the sky.

But balance is the issue now—
I’ve lost it—and I wish I knew
Where I could find it (wouldn’t you?).
And life is not as fun somehow.
