I’ve been a biker most all of my life
Long before I took a wife
After my birth and before I could walk
Even before I could talk
A little red tricycle was my first
A two wheeler made me curse
Then, of course, the Harley, my pride and joy
I became a MAN, from b o y
I’m over fifty, the wife can’t believe
The change that’s come over me
I’ve got a grasp on life, with a new plan
Mid Life, Comes a Mini-Van

Well, at least it's not a rice burner

Live for love. Without love, you don't live.

Thanks for commenting. I already went through the mid-life. I thought it would be funny to reverse roles.

Well get on your bad motor scooter and ride!!

very clever write...
enjoyed the wit and edge of sarcasm

Im searchin for my warrior
walkin the tracks of time
this struggle to seek forgiveness
like chains and shackles...these ghosts of mine

VAS This grandpa needs the extra room. Thanks

Watersign6 Thanks. I glad you enjoyed it.

Janet Marie The truth: The last time I rode was about 10 years ago and my wife has a firmer grip on me, now. Thank you.
