Monday Blues: One Wheel Won't Turn

Ah, those campus bikes. What are ya going to do when the rear tire goes flat, and the front tire comes off and wraps, like a snake, around your fork? Come Monday I expect it'll be sitting out in the rain as well...

"Broken bicycles,

Old busted chains,

Rusted handle bars

Out in the rain...

Broken bicycles,

Don't tell my folks;

There's all those playing cards

Pinned to the spokes,

Laid down like skeletons

Out on the lawn.

One wheel won't turn

While the other has gone..."

(Broken Bicycles - Tom Waits)

The Monday Blues has been an occasional feature here at the blog since inception; the blues, an emotion, a color, a genre of music, with a cycling twist.
