With no plan to keep

With no plan to keep

A Poem by unclecharlie

The project rode nice and was pretty cheap

Planned to buy and sell not ever to keep

Decided to go at it nice and slow

What it looked like we didn't know

We pulled in and went clear out back

There we found a tarp leaning against the shack

Pulled it off easy and with a slow rate of speed

Lost our breathe at the work it would need

The rust and dirt no one could see threw

Oh God what did we ourselves into

Now we have changed a thing here and there

Making sure that there's possibilities some where

New tires and a speedometer that works

A long with settling some other little quirks

Now the other bike doesn't much more then sit

The pleasure is riding this old looking s**t

Pipes are rusted but there's no decay

Fixing them can wait for another day

This is not the only one cause there's many more

We like the surprise of what may be in store

Others may find this in not such good taste

But it's leave me with little time to waste

We don't need the new with all the fancy blings

Just the ride down the road as the wind sings

This to us is what riding is all about

Not what you ride but the fact that you just get out

The freedom and sense of being in complete control

That my friends is exactly how we all roll!
