Travel Thursday in Kos Island: Bikes, Carts, Mopeds and Scooter-mobiles

“All journeys have secret destinations of which the traveler is unaware”
Martin Buber

Golf Cart

To fool the neighbours
And all other strangers
You hired a cart
Which was quite smart
Added a bag of clubs
Actually some look alike stubs
Hopped inside the vehicle
While the other looked unbelievable
Maybe even a little jealous
Because of this helluva
Trick you made up

The beast of burden
Is quite determined
To haul its cargo
From here to Fargo

Little convertible
You are so flexible
And very transportable
But even still
The genuine article

A bike is a bike
Of course, of course!

When crossing the street
Better be quick on your feet
The bikerettes are on the move
In their vehicles of blue
With wheels of two

Baskets filled with goodies
Hats, trousers and hoodies
Maybe even a few cookies
Because it’s time to play hookie

Bikes with motors are fine
When you want to avoid that grind
But a manual pedaller
May be a great leveller
When your pulse needs elevating
And your blood, circulating

World Wide Wednesday in Helsinki

Where there is a lamppost
There is a will
The best parking host
For a bike to stay still

City bikes of yellow
For every gal and fellow
Driving by and waving hello
Before we break for jell-o
