I'm just warming up
spinning up the country road
in the golden slant of late sun
green pickup truck lurks at the stop sign
oh, I have the right of way
but he'll probably floor it to beat me
watch out
but he doesn't
he waits
he waits
as I pass I call thanks
as I pass he smiles and waves
as I pass, his yellow wristband flashes
I think I'm in love
with the driver
of a green pickup truck
It's funny, when someone yields the right of way to me, I always feel compelled to nod a thank you their way...
By the same token, I've never fallen in love with a man driving a green pick-up truck...:D Yellow wrist band or not
Well, obviously you just haven't met the right guy :cool: :rolleyes: ;)Quote:

See, there ya go, it can happen :) :rolleyes: :)
Too bad we never got to meet:(
Seriously Latelate. it's a very nice poem :D
Great poem! I wish I had a guy in a green truck to fall in love with!
I have a cycling related poem too, but I think I'll start another thread. You've inspired me to share my poetic skills (ha ha haaaaa HA!). My poem is not positive like yours because mine is about flat tires. :rolleyes:
It is.
And obviously I can relate.
I agree. I'm very sorry for the hijack. I tried to edit my post to make sure you knew that, but my edit and smiles aren't working for some reason.Quote:

Did you go "advanced"? You can't edit and add smiles without that here. Sorry for the hijack. Wish I could write so that it would be meaningful without smilies like Latelate. :cool: there, back OnT :rolleyes:Quote:
