The weather is fine, and i have to sit in all day,
but i long to ride, so i came up with this little
song. You can sing along here:
In the summertime when the weather is high
You can stretch right up and touch the sky
When the weather's fine
You got biking, you got biking on your mind
Have a drink, have a drive
Go out and see what you can find
If your bike is fine, take her out for a ride
If your bike is poor, just do your choors
Speed along the lane
Do a ton or a ton an' twenty-five
When the sun goes down
You can make it, make it good in a lay-by
We're no grey, people
We're not dirty, we're not mean
We love everybody but we do as we please
When the weather's fine
We go fishin' or go swimmin' in the sea
We're always happy
Life's for livin' yeah, that's our philosophy
Sing along with us
Dee dee dee-dee dee
Dah dah dah-dah dah
Yeah we're hap-happy
Dah dah-dah
Dee-dah-do dee-dah-do dah-do-dah

Bring your spanner, wear your dirty clothes

Very nice. Now I've had the line;
"Hey there, derailleur, would you like to try my fixie. . ."
running around my head for weeks but, sadly, lack your compositional skills.
Do you fancy trying to do something with it?

My friend Johnny Sunset did that once:
A parody poem by J. Sunset (with apologies to "The Simpsons"
scriptwriters):
------------------------------------------------------------
Can you name the bike with Killer B pride?
Smells like a sock and buzzes like a hive.
CarbonAero! CarbonAero!
Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down,
It's the country-fried bike endorsed by a clown!
CarbonAero! (Yah!) CarbonAero!
[Krusty:] Hey Hey
The Federal Highway commission has ruled the
CarbonAero unsafe for highway or city riding.
CarbonAero!
12 feet high, 2 feet wide,
65 pounds of American Pride!
CarbonAero! CarbonAero!
Top of the line in highwalking sports,
Unexplained crashes are a matter for the courts!
CarbonAero! CarbonAero! (Yah!)
She blinds everybody with her super high cost,
She's a squirrel crushing, deer smacking, riding machine!
CarbonAero!-oh woah, CarbonAero! (Yah!)
Ride CarbonAero!
Woah CarbonAero!
Woah!
- J. Sunset
