"Ode To A Bikeride To The Library On A Rainy Day"
(Or, The Cyclists Poetic!)



As I sit astrod a quirky contraption,

A Dreary cloud falls over me.

But clouds are liers thus

for their every breath, it seems to me

is filled with excitement and with energy.


If sin is described as a darkness of color

upon this sinners road I gladly trod

For every curve of the earth seems to me, Splendid

Oh, the Green Greedy Grass

It feasts upon the makeshift ponds

and the great phantom lakes

appearing and dissapearing at random.

I grin at every puddle

and I am delighted by the stories they tell me.

And though when my skin is dry I shall itch

As long as this ride lasts...

I am the happiest of men."

As I sit astrod a quirky contraption, [Astrod? I am not familiar with that conjugation. I assume that it is archaic?]

A Dreary cloud falls over me.

But clouds are liers thus

for there every breath, it seems to me [Where?]

is filled with excitement and with energy.


If sin is described as a darkness of color

upon this sinners road I gladly trod [So basically you are biking on a dark-colored road.]

For every curve of the earth seems to me

Splendid [How does that fit with the beginning of the thought?]

Oh, the Green Greedy Grass

It feasts upon the makeshift ponds

and the great phantom lakes

appearing and dissapearing at random.

I grin at every puddle

and I am delighted by the stories they tell me.

And though when my skin is dry I shall itch [Why?]

As long as this ride lasts...

I am the happiest of men." [Just one lonely quotation mark by itself...]

Nice extrapolation on the bike ride. It's very new-age-ish.

I have sensitive skin, so when I get wet, once I Dry, I itch...badly.

Nice one. It makes me wish I had a bicycle again...and that it actually rained in this dustbowl.
