| Triking -- a trifle | |

I acknowlege the prod received from Veronica about writing an Ode to a Trike She even supplied a version of the first stanza and the kitten/mitten one as well as further advice gratefully received. The Angels /Angles typo was oo good to leve out . A trifle about triking You are old, Mr Brian, young Veronica said And you move with the aid of a trike But on its sleek frontage, so shiny and red Do you need such a hideous spike? Why speak of the spike? Old Brian replied While you chatter, my great task is slowing! I am fixing gold chains to the back and the side of this black leather jacket I'm sewing. Ah, said Veronica, you'll make an impression as along the main drag you will glide demonstrating what masterly English expression to your leathers you've neatly applied. Yes, said Old Brian, the logo's complete; no chains will you find in bad tangles! Passers by will all tremble out there on the street When they see how it spells out Hell's Angles! Are you sure, asked Veronica, hiding a sneer, that your outfit is fully perfected? I think that you'll find, when it's scanned from the rear, there's a problem you haven't detected! It's complete! cried old Brian. My fingers may tingle, but with pride my old bosom is swelling; gilded buttons all glint, glowing chains are a-jingle and I know I'm correct in my spelling. But consider, Old Brian, the young woman said, I know you're a man of persistence and will still blunder on blindly ahead, But there's not such a group in existence! Bedamn, Old Brian loudly declaimed: a litter of bodies henceforth will be found! That spike I will use on the halt, blind or maimed, On old ladies or children or hound! In your youth, said the girl, as you charged down the road You seemed never to suffer from cold but the cats and their kittens will make hats and mittens to relieve you from chill now you're old. But to kill off those pussies, Old Brian demurred, smacks of more than a bit of pornography; I'm quite fond of those sweet things so warmly befurred: so I will just destroy folks ... and orthography.
