John was told, no riding your motorcycle

and no riding a bicycle

but he wasn't told to not ride a tricycle!

~

John went out and bought a Ryker

He may end up being a hitchhiker

if he tries that again.

He told me about a friend

that retired with him and then

he has cancer and it may be the end

~

Stage four, in his kidney and liver

perhaps terminal. That made me quiver

That did it for John. He said, "Life is too

short, and I choose to ride, and I will do

exactly that. I was thinking I would miss

riding all summer and I decided, I had to kiss

this time goodbye. Then, wait I wasn't told

I couldn't ride a trike!" The Ryker is bold

and is described as small and powerful.

John said, "That bugger is full

of spunk, I'll tell you that."

He can ride for now, that brat!
