Gone are the days when teachers
Came to school on cycles
Now every teacher owns a motor cycle
No teacher wants to ride a cycle
I am one of the few teachers
Who now and then use cycles
Riding a cycle is considered mean
Even my daughters regard it as mere fun
The cycle runs on human power
The motor cycle on electrical power
If it runs out of petrol
Somebody comes to console
If it develops a technical problem
It keeps mum like a tar drum
Human power is more reliable
Electrical power is always unpredictable
Bicycle is very easy to ride
It is a poor man’s pride
Riding a cycle is good for our health
It even saves some of our wealth
It saves environmental pollution
And releases our mental tension

Whoa! Sweet! I LOVE this little comparison/contrast! To think I am dreaming of earning a motorcycle liscense too! Ya, the bicycle is presently quite affordable for wee me, and not even half as much work as the motored one.
Dear Cheeky, If rich Americans are ready to ride cycles, poor Indians must ride them.Thanks a lot for your wonderful comments.
