Country Roads


Her mothering instincts clear

with guardrails and advisory signs

Too often more like a granny

with too many aged signs and lines


Most of my friends find her a temptress

they love her curved habitats

but some are the girl next door type

find her happiest just in flats.


When first exposed and laid flat

she's the best ride ever offered

Especially when the pedal is down

and thrusting fully forward


Prepared surfaces though often induce

a strange perhaps awkward bleat

switching our senses to peak

to warn off thought of sleep.


Whether in car truck bus or bike

or even enjoying a roadside hike

The thrill of the country road

will produce a splendid episode
