bikes
by Ami Kane
 (c)Paul Marek
Russian Gypsy turns to me,
eye's full of tease
as he sips, vodka and tea.
Humorously, he says,
Fancy a race?

I leap to my feet
ignoring my treats,
I run for my bike
forget those coconut fingers I like!
Yet he's up ahead..
how can this be?
How did Russki overtake, me?

Steadfastly I peddle,
try to keep up,
the race ends
as we take the bend
and Russki passes the vodka-tea
we crash head on into a tree!

Dizzily we drink,
wearily we think,
bikes are mangled
tyres all tangled,
eventually it occurs
to he, and me,
perhaps we should stick with poetry!
