How did I not ride thee, bicycle, (in the last two+ weeks)? Let me count the ways!
A storm came along with lots of hard rain,
Followed by a heat that causes real pain
I was building and wiring stuff in the man cave
And mowing and weeding like a poor field slave.
My wife got me messing with a used Intex pool,
But when I filled it, it was lopsided, and that just ain't cool!
So after 3 days of toil, the end finally came
With the pool in the dumpster and me on my cane!
Next, the back of our roof is fine with no leaks,
But it's black, and that's hot, so you know what that means,
It's up on the roof without toys or a sleigh,
With 5 gallon buckets of of white stuff that weighs
Like they melted down a factory-full of K-Mart bikes
And poured them into lead-lined buckets! Yipes!
Now I'm halfway done with that project, you know,
But when it's all over, it'll be time to mow
Again with this 2 1/4 acres of grass
That's turning out to be such a pain in the a$$!!
And THAT'S why I didn't ride my bicycle today!
