The Square-Wheel Motorcycle - A Poem

Tweet

The Square-Wheel Motorcycle - I was looking through some of my really old-old-old doggerel poems today, sorting them onto the disk drive prepping for a run-through toward the eBook being put together. I came upon one I had put up onto the "Big Bubble" some time back. It was about the motorcycle with the square wheels. I read the thing, and it made me laugh just thinking about such a machine. Way back, when I was dumb teenager, I had spent my very scant cash money on a motorcycle that only its mother might have loved. Without going into all of the details about that motorcycle, let's just say that it had way more problems than pleasures. The only really good thing about it was that it was really easy on the gasoline it used. (Mostly because it did not work all that often...) I never expected that I would find a photograph of another motorcycle that would remind me of the beast that I had owned, but along came our friends over at Pixabay.com and put such a photo onto their page of a chopper that was a lot like my old rig. The Square-Wheel Motorcycle Not a "Harley," nor an "Indian," Chopper-heaven, that was this 'n Painted flaming red was it. Purple cushion for to sit. Great big handles, chromed-up throttle, Even a holder for a bottle. Such a beast – but on the road this hulk with motor never go'ed not even if you took a dare - 'cause its two wheels were just plain square. (Note: "Harley" and "Indian" - two famous brands of motorcycles) * * * * * * * * * * Image: Pixabay dot com , Edited by Gus Kilthau * * * * * * * * * *
