733 - Le Tour

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.

  1. Haha! Sounds like it would be quite smelly, all in all!

  2. Cheers 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)

    2. Cadel Evans won it a year or two back. Got his own named race in South Australia now. I'll give that a miss too.

  10. To ensconce myself in front of the Tour de Fronce would not be done with nonchalance is my response.

    It lasts for a year or two, doesn't it? It seems so, anyway!
