Poets United Midweek Motif is "Le Tour de France".
This is the time of Tour de Fronce,
Avoid it if you have the chonce—
Ev’ry year, the same design,
An endless bloody conga line
Of sweaty men in Lycra ponce.

Haha! Sounds like it would be quite smelly, all in all!
ReplyDeleteCheers to that...i don't quite understand why it went via Yorkshire..I understand that Bradley Wiggins won last year but surely the clue to the race is in the title...it could prove tricky should an Australian win (if they haven't already)
ReplyDeleteActually wasn't Wiggo born in Oz...
DeleteCadel Evans won it a year or two back. Got his own named race in South Australia now. I'll give that a miss too.
Deleteit maybe ponce, but thank goodness no longer pong, as it was when I first saw them.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Sounds like a "chonce" to be missed. :D
ReplyDeleteAt least our very own home-grown lycra lout isn't there with them.
ReplyDeleteClever as ever, Cosmo! Loved it!
ReplyDeleteA cute poem dear Cosmo but I am enjoying the beautiful vistas of France and Spain.
ReplyDeletexoxoxo ♡
amusing!! i dint really imagine the smell until you mentioned here!!
ReplyDeleteIt's alot of work to get that lycra sweaty...
ReplyDeleteTo ensconce myself in front of the Tour de Fronce would not be done with nonchalance is my response.
ReplyDeleteIt lasts for a year or two, doesn't it? It seems so, anyway!
Very nice, love the limerick.
