EASTER RIDING

JEGApr2022

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