Bike fever
This is from a very old SYHA newsletter.. Author unknown.
SKYE BIKE SONG I must go down to the road again, to the stony road of Skye, And all I ask is a 26" bike and a rut to steer it by, And a steep hill, and a head wind, with the old bike shaking, And a puncture by the roadside, with my heart near breaking I must go down to the road again, for the call of the rattling bike is a wild call, and a bad call, that startles those that hike. And all I ask is a down rise, with the whole frame folding, And a sharp bend on the gravel, with the brakes not holding. I must go down to the road again, to the swish of the driving rain, And the howl of the wind against me that makes all pedalling vain, And all I ask is my yellow cape, be my poor feet soaking, And a hot stove at the day's end and the wet socks smoking. I must go down to the road again, to the carefree host'llers way: To bully for lunch and bully for tea, and bully every day; And all I ask is a greasy pan from a grinning fellow-rover, And quiet sleep in a top bunk when a grand day is over. |
