                                                   "THE BIKER" by Bernie Brandell

GIVE ME A BIKEWAY -- ALL PAINTED GREEN
A SAFE/DIVIDE FROM TRAFFIC SCENE
POINT OUT THE WAY -- TO TREE LINED TRAIL
I MAY ZOOM BY -- WITH WIND AT THE TAIL

LEGS STRAIN TO PEDAL
RIGHT FROM THE START
FIRM ON SADDLE
KICK-START THE HEART

PEDAL PRESS SPRING 0R SUMMER
FALL, A RIDERS CALL
WINTER WEATHER IS A BUMMER
WHEN BIKES ARE HUNG IN STALL

GLASS CANYONS GOODBY
I'LL SEEK OPEN SKY
STAY TRIM AND IN SHAPE
GREAT OUTDOORS ESCAPE

S0 ABANDON YOUR CARS
JUST FOR A DAY
GRIP HANDLEBARS
ON YOUR MERRY WAY
