bombing down the pavement

~

bombing down the pavement ( a true story )



bombing down the pavement

with flagrant regard

scaring all the pensioners

& shocking their frail hearts


on his raleigh prophet

with its holy spokes

he never wears a helmet

in his dust trails folk choke


babbling to his father

when there's no one there

keep an eye on traffic please ( ! )

yeah - he should take more care


sparking stabilisers

glowing red then white

he's nothing but a menace

is that

christ on a bike

...
