Pedalers

My Dearest State Rep:
Would you please watch your step
Gang loose on the hill,
“MAKE CLEAN-TEA A BILL!”

Be not mistaken,
They praise Kevin Bacon.
They unclog our roads
With alternative modes.
They ride without oil
As auto bloods boil.

Stay alert and aware-
Just look for their flair
They come in disguise:
Wool suits and ties.

There’s grease on his pocket!
Her necklace, a sprocket!
Helmet hair’s a sight.
In the hall, “On your right!”
They won’t have a bell,
But a bike pinned lapel.

They lobby for chains,
And paint for more lanes,
For tires and feets.
“WE WANT COMPLETE STREETS!”

Beware the unruly
Sincerely,
Yours Truly
