Country Biking
==============
A cool, fresh breeze,
Scented by green pine trees,
A warm sun on high
In a blue and white sky.
These are the things that make my day
As I bike merrily along my way,
Seeking the quiet rural by-wasy,
Avoiding the noisy congested highways.
There's a feeling of freedom beyond compare
When you're riding through the fresh country air,
Gliding along like a bird in flight
On a day that is pleasant, calm and bright.
When weather conditions are not the best,
Meet the challenge and take the test.
Afer facing the wind and cold,
You'll feel you've earned the Olympic gold.
Of course it helps when the roads are free
Of potholes, glass and other debris,
If dogs remain in their own domain
And drivers of cars are sober and sane.
In winter when the cold winds blow,
Warmer clothing is needed, you'll know,
But when roads are free of ice and snow,
Biking is still the way to go.
And when at last the spring breaks through,
Nature blossoms forth anew.
It's great to ride through April showers,
Knowing that soon they'll bring May flowers.
In summer when the days grow hot,
Morning and evening hours are not.
Then biking joy is at it's height
With waking birds and pale moonlight.
In autumn when the leaves change hue,
The glory of nature comes into view.
All your troubles will soon take flight
In the presence of such a wondrous sight.
If your spirits are low or your patience is tried,
Hop on your bike and go for a ride.
Greeting friends along the way
Will help to brighten your day.
And when you tire of jogging and hiking,
Try a little country biking.
Good for your body and good for your mind,
Recreation of the finest kind.
Other sports may have more clout,
But for me, without a doubt,
In winter, summer, spring or fall,
Country biking is best of all.
