My shiny red E-bike

When Parkies entered in my life and knocked upon my door
 I thought I’d have to stop and that I’d bike no more

For I was finding getting home, could sometimes be too tiring
Something Parkies did to me by messing up my wiring!

So, I bought an e-bike shiny red to take out on the track
And if I tire getting home, it will help to get me back

I bought myself an e-bike it’s bright and shiny red
I thought I’d take a ride today and took it from it’s shed

A chilly day, but all was well, we took it in our stride
As off I headed happily, my husband by my side


My husband has a mountain bike, no motor on it’s frame
But he is fitter than I am and get’s there all the same

We biked along the cycle track, in chilly winter air
Our fingers numb, our bottoms too a chilly frozen pair

But getting out in Winter time, on local cycle ways
Is something that we like to do, to brighten up our days

Not for us, this sitting home and lazy watching telly
Or sitting round and scoffing food and filling up our belly

So Parkies entered in my life, it’s something I don’t like
But Parkies isn’t winning in this round, I still will ride my bike!

I am a retired Social Worker having retired in May 2024. I had been a Social Worker for over 20 years and for the sake of my health and wellbeing I chose to retire early. I have some literary projects underway and am enjoying the freedom of no longer working. Working on my projects at my own pace and enjoying my new hobby of lawn bowls is a wonderful thing. No regrets and a new kind of busy in retirement is wonderful.
