Way back in the day, In a city so far away.
I wasn’t too much of a slick goon, I was late
my get ready with a too fast morning tune, had it’s indecision debate,
I raked in my belongings inside my nomad bags so opaque.
again dawning it seemed I was doomed to pay “the sucker rate”
when I saw the clock again as lateness loomed, I knew it was another direct shot to downtown date
again out into the world I bloomed, or should I say boomed, with another leap of faith
minutes later on the bike station I knocked, Oh my pay as you go had a “this emeffer trait”
healthy ride was the rental bikes make
I couldn’t wait
me and my rent a bike app mate,
where thinking about putting on the frequent flyer cape.
I couldn’t wait
I was looking like “send in the clowns” with too many rattles
And with a crazy battle, I finally made my way onto the 9 inch raised seats
saddle.
The seat was the right height for me
My feet, and sight, where ready to be free
riding, in the lowest gear I settled
Step on it! became/where my pedals
Step on it! yet neutral were my red sign stops
the traffic control devices were showing me who’s boss
the lady in black clothes was walking her dogs
the two men talking had their weekend jog
with my test, of that electric beast of course
Heading west, before the turn, the ray of the north
at the red light, I stopped at rest, as a good boy for the torts
Then it hit me as a brand new dork,
the realization of their colors in my plain sight played it’s part
their green suits coming in my eye’s view made their mark
the pedestrian team’s pride, were looking sharp.
The very green team dressed up heading south, had their friendship’s mingling gift
as I gripped, the handle bars still waiting as el cid
I got the tip, as their friendship mingling hit.
Their clothes had something to say, and were all the green rage.
It hit me, It was St. Patricks Day
And that downtown probably again had some sort of annual festivity or parade
the red light had it’s fade away
the right I finally made
(5 minutes later, I infiltrated the barrier’s layer)
Ride a goodyear, breathe in the atmosphere!
on the road I was too much of a speedy pacer
In all of a sudden mode I had to do something major.
so with a sidewalk to the left retreat load I made my bike walker waiver
(needless to say my on the road again talent met it’s maker.)
(needless to say my regular late shot turned to vapors.)
my pedestrian shot into the alley way couldn’t have been any straighter
for I sticking out red hot, was the rented bike pedestrian mayor
(5 minutes later, I infiltrated the barrier’s layer)
Ride a goodyear, breathe in the atmosphere!
I was trying to find an opened street again I was uninformed without a newspaper
I wore a certain peculiar poker face with walk the dog labor
But
The walkers of the jay
within the newfound barriers
sounded joyful and gay
and sounded even merrier
than the other groups before
their laughter into the overall scene poured
I was trying to find an opened street again I was uninformed without a newspaper
I wore a certain peculiar poker face with walk the dog labor.
as I made my way further into the crowded downtown’s interior
I the work clothes wearer of the car heart, not hate
was shown the nearness of
another group’s laughter this time with a tearer’s gait so superior.
I finally found an opening on the road again
and mounted again on my cruising built 3 geared friend
The crossing guard had their helping hand to lend
some minutes later I dropped off my cruiser at the station
their I was again lone ranger, with a star wars greedo placement
St. Patty’s day certainly is having it’s greatness I said to myself.
I realized I should’ve started the journey as an earlier birder
Over the phone was where I put my head
For test if the expect the late bus, had me dead!
5 hours later
It hit me that joseph lamb was someone to play, on the notion I went a hoppin.
sorry dear Scott Joplin
my playlist switched, on the Saint Patrick days bandwagon I hitched
it hit me that Joseph Lamb was one of X Irish American
and that making fine piano songs was part of his plan
switching to him was the solution.
Joseph Lamb again made his contribution
Joseph Lamb’s hand’s rhymed like god damn, for making us dance was part of the man’s plan,
His booms of his bassline are the way
He sounds so fine this Saint Patrick’s day
Way back in the day
In a city so far away
