A True Spiritual Journey

No transport for me and my mate
This time we would not be late
Rather than hike, we would “Borrow a bike”
To leave good as new
At the gate

No need to stop at the brink
We both had a bottle of drink
We could be quite frisky,  eighty percent whiskey
We never took pause
To think

Down to the lake at the quarry
Later the time to be sorry
Sunshine and wine, would make us feel fine
Not to sit on the fence
Or worry

No clothes in the water to wear
While the sun danced on bodies so bare
We’d try if we can to get us a tan
Of course no-one else
Was there

Much later both feeling quite hot
You should see the state we had got
Red as the lobster and wobbly to boot
Minds both the same
Who gives a hoot

Not being one for to moan
How on earth were we to get home?
Do you think it odd we trusted in God
To get us back with no
Broken Bone

LOL!!! I really got a nice laugh from your stanza that read:

Big smiles. I suppose it's true... There is more than just one kind of spirit.

This was quite an adventure that you partook in and I thank you for sharing it here with us.

God bless,
-Bob

Oh, yes!  Haven't we all gotten ourselves  into a sad situation, then asked God to get us out of it?

Thank you for your replies, it was a true story from Sennelager Germany...
The kind German workers used to leave their bicycles "on site" we would often borrow them to go across the “Ranges” to the local gastatte . Not a machine for picking up girls but it kept the driving licence clean.
It was so annoying the bicycles were often hard to ride in an upright position on the way back and with temperatures often below zero in the winter….
The summer trip out would have been hotter to  an old quarry near to where we used to guard a “Bunker” that supposedly contained nuclear warheads….
Ahhh those were the days …the Cold War… Money for old rope

Dont suppose anyone here remembers Bill Days in Senne...
