CCXXXVI - The Bike

.
Magpie Tales had the above poster as a prompt.


The Bike

In a thin gown,
She rode through the town,
And declared that it gave her a thrill.

She didn’t straddle
But rode it side-saddle
A trick that only works down hill.

She took great delight
To ride in sunlight
But exposed her breasts when it was shady.

While a bike is okay,
To be transported away
I’d much rather be riding the lady.

What an interesting poem, in response to an interesting prompt. Both very revealing.

Laurie Kolp said...

Fun and a little sassy!

Lee said...

A bit risqué Mr Newbery. Have you been hitting the cask red?

Cosmo,
A lot many guys would want to ride the same. A good cheeky piece!

And what may I ask is God's gift to women?
(responding to your visit to my 'Starlet' with thanks)

Oh...la..la....

LOL. Very entertaining :)

ladyfi said...

Very witty indeed!

Cosmo,
I think we'll just leave it at that. The only thing I know now is that you'll be a regular peek and I've put myself on as a follower. Cheers!

Hahaha! This is the first thing of yours I have read; now I'm curious about 'Banana Risotto.'

Sue J said...

Been reading Sweet Chilli Sauce - Nigerians. I was curled up :) I am heading back there soon for more entertainment. I loved the Mavis Bramston one. I'm passing it on to friends too.

TALON said...

lol! So lyrical and so well done. She might be able to expose her breasts more regularly if she used sunscreen ;)

Mama Zen said...

Oh, well done!

Tess Kincaid said...

You're so right...side saddle would only work downhill. Love it.

Madeleine Begun Kane said...

Fun verse. Great punchline!

Reflections said...

Interesting piece... like the twist at the end.
