This is a really good one about why cyclists like me are much better than car drivers.

Tut tut motorist why do you shout?
When I'm cycling through a red light
Calling me names like 'lycra lout'
And telling me I've got no right

Well here's the news petrol head
I'm enviramentally sound and you're not
You're pumping out fumes filled with lead
And you're making the planet get hot

So don't bother telling me I've broken the law
Because the rules don't apply to me
I'm a cyclist you fool, no less no more
It's a superior mode of transport you see!

See my response to your 'masterpiece' entitled Plastic Hat!  
 
I can see why you get on so well with your boyfriend - you both think you are above the law! 
 
Jeez - you are quite entertaining really! I haven't laughed so much in ages! :grin

Laugh? I did. 
 
Again, your intro is superb.

Environmentally sound...

Perhaps, mentally sound? Another matter.

I came upon your poetry my mistake, but having been caught up in this whole thing, i decided to read it all. 
 
This is definately my favourite. I think you have a lot of talent, and I'm sure you are having a great time with what you are doing. Some of your poems I agree with the others have a bit of a problem with rhythym - but they are powerful statements about what you think and do and are about, and even though, many of us won't appreciate your sentiments, you certainly manage to get your point across.
