Joyce Kilmer:
I think that I shall never like
anything as much as my bike.
With a fine figure it is blessed
Its handlebars I have caressed.
I could ride it around all day
Unlike a horse it cannot nay.[1]
I may end up with helmet hair
If a damn helmet I do wear.
It whispers to me "Take the lane"
Cars and lorries are such a bane.
As poems[2] go you'll have read better
Insert word that rhymes with better.
Some bonus lines for lucky you!
With nausea[3] we'll make it through
Poems are written by fools like I
But only God can reason why.
1. Poetic license as regards neigh.
2. Intoned with one syllable please, to keep it octosyllable. There is precedent.
3. As a dual citizen I'm free to take my pick.

Geoffrey Chaucer:
You have to pay a premium to be
A rider of a certain pedigree
Componentry that's at the cutting edge and
Apparel that presents you as a legend
Invest in an aesthetic which will last
Contemporary but rooted in the past
And when you stop to order cappuccino
Insist that the barista wears merino
