I love my bike

Poem Commentary

A man laughed at me on my bike, and it hit a nerve!

I love my bike

I love my bike


I cycle to work and I cycle home.

Yet today I found myself quite alone.


No energy and ill, nose streaming and weak.

I hit a tough hill and physically a peak.


After trying to make my legs go I hopped off and walked.

Thighs like jelly, I thought I was going to hit the floor.


At the top I turned to get back on,

And along came 'Mr Armstrong' whizzing along.


He looked at me with cheek and knew what I'd done.

He laughed and said 'HA!' 10-speed gleaming in the sun.


I nearly cried, got back on and made it down the slope.

One look or word can tip the scales, that smug, cycling bloke.


(Damn him!)

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
