BICYCLE ~ ELCYCIB ~ A reverse acrostic sonnet !

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

 

THE FAMOUS PENNY FARTHING BICYCLE !

 

BICYCLES  have been around

IN  fact three hundred years

CYCLING  covers lots of ground

YOU'RE  better off with gears !

CYCLING'S  healthy ~ cycling's good

LESS CO2  emission fears

EXPERIENCE it ~ you know you  should ! 

 

EXPERIENCE it ~ you know you should !

LESS CO2  emission fears

CYCLING'S  healthy ~ cycling's good

YOU'RE  better off with gears !

CYCLING  covers lots of ground

IN  fact three hundred years

BICYCLES  have been around

    Very well crafted and funny.

    • BRIAN & ANGELA

      THANKS GARY ~ If we all rode BICYCLES we would all be fitter ~ richer and the global CO2 levels would plummet down from 400 ppm back to 250 ppm ! BRIAN

        There'd also be a lot of sore bums. Give me a run across the hills anytime.
        Mind you cycling would. Be a lot more fun if there were fewer cars.

      • Michael Edwards

        Well written and a good fun read. I used to love cycling when the roads were less used but you wouldn't get in those lycra outfits and silly looking hats for all the tea in China. How much tea is there in China by the way?

        • BRIAN & ANGELA

          Thanks MICHAEL ~ The tea production in China in 2015 was 2,250,000 metric tons ! That's a lot of TEA ! There are a lot of bikes in Cambridge but in most UK cities it is a bit of a HAZARD in 2017 ! Yours BRIAN

            Hey Brian - earlier today, for the first time this year, I saw my first cyclist, in town, using a cycle lane and I haven't even heard my first cuckoo yet !! Is this a record?

          • willyweed

            Is that you on your big wheel Brian?
            nice fun poem goes full circle.

            • BRIAN & ANGELA

              YES INDEED WILLY ~ It a modern reproduction bike not an original ~ fun to ride ! BRIAN

            • orchidee

              You riding that bike forwards or backwards? You coming or going?! heehee.
              And - about 4,673 million tons of tea, Michael? I dunno, just a wild guess! lol. Google probably will tell us if we bother to look it up.

              • BRIAN & ANGELA

                Difficult to tell really ~ but once you master it ~ a penny farthing is like a unicycle ~ you can pedal it BACKWARDS. The 2015 production of tea in China was 2,250,000 metric tons. China is upwardly mobile and th production since 2000 has increased by over 300%. Thanks "O" for your comment ~ BRIAN

              • Philip

                Good fun Brian. I would like a go on a penny farthing one day. Phil.G

                • BRIAN & ANGELA

                  Thanks PHIL in some Museums in the UK you can try one out ~ AT YOUR OWN RISK ~ ITS A LONG WAY TO FALL ~ HENCE THE HELMET ! Thanks BRIAN

                • Christina8

                  Great job on this poem! I love bicycling! I'll have to tell you where I go later but it's great for families to get out and cycle. Great exercise! Another great sonnet! Hugs--Christina

                  • BRIAN & ANGELA

                    Thanks CHRIS knew you would enjoy is one ! You'd look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle made for two ~ Cyclic HUGS ~ BRIAN
