EASTER RIDING JEGApr2022
Don’t go riding at Easter,
Those mates all started leaving
Saturday especially
Other diners started to thin
The route & the company were A1
“Where’s ours?” we kept asking
The weather was lovely
Our heads beginning to spin
We had great expectations
Again we thought about leaving
Of a new French patisserie
And one of us actually did
But so did hundreds of others
The rest of us were too hungry
It just wasn’t meant to be
Under the table we almost slid
So off to the local café
At long last 2 hours later
For coffee & maybe a scone
Our meals started to arrive
45 minutes later
We had started to wonder
We got our money back & were gone If we were going to survive No worries, for a big pub lunch Back on the bikes in no time Was waiting just around the bend
For the day was fading fast
But so many road work red lights
Our helmets had dark visors
How long does one have to spend?
We knew the light wouldn’t last
Finally we got to the pub
But this is not a tale of woe
A bit late but our mates were there
Although it’s what it sounds like
Ordered lunch & told there’s a wait
We did still have a great time
So sit down & pull up a chair
Being out riding on the bike
