Fat Tire

Cruising in the sage
Hanging on for dear life
Wondering…why don’t I act
my age?
For I’m feeling like a kid
Popping like some corn
Out in desert singletrack
In early summer morn
Gulping on my Camelback
Squeezing down some Gu
Heading up a rocky mountain
For the next spectacular view
Looking out for rattlers
Eyes glued up-ahead
Keeping that concentration
Holding back the dread
Feeling cares and trouble
receding in the wind
But I’m carrying my name and number
To notify the next of kin!
Fat Tire
ain’t for faint of heart
Or, those who love the malls
Or, those who crave security
Bring on those bloody falls
Muscles soon are aching
Legs feeling half-past dead
Thoughts switch like channels
To home, comfort, instead
Last few miles pure torture
No way I’ll return alive
But suddenly, back from where
I started
Planning that next incredible
Fat Tire ride
