ROAD TO HEAVEN
The signpost reads “HEAVEN”
I get distracted – food, flowers
Wine, women and song
You know…
Take the road running parallel
Pedal along happily,
With a glass in
One hand, neatly balancing
A lady hiker on the handlebar
Rather a feat I think
Until a pothole appears
And all goes flying
The lady into a bush
While quickly I finish my drink
Before turning a somersault
My bike in a tow like
A circus performer.
The lady claps from her
Ringside seat
And I land safe the other side
Buckling a fender
But through the green
On the verge I’ve seen
The road I should be on
And leaving the tempting
Roadside café, the siren song
Of the birds and the lady in the bush
The pretty celandines underfoot
(I hadn’t noticed them before)
I pedal even faster
Ignoring it all
Take a at dizzying speed
The next turning to Heaven
And once on the right road
Keep on pedalling.
