Did no one ever think to mention

the importance of paying attention

whilst mounted on your two wheeled steed?

And if not, would you feel aggrieved?

Do tell us, as we’re dying to know

did you really think it was the right way to go?

As you proceeded down the slip road

was the sign in hieroglyphics or perhaps in code?

Or had your mind drifted away?

Is that how you ended up on the motorway?

I don’t think you have to be really smart

or have a GCSE in Home Economics or Art

to appreciate it’s not the road for you

well before ending up on the M62.

“M” stands for “motorway” if you are unsure.

Riding your push iron is against the law

while you are located at said location.

I now wonder at your current situation

following PC Willis’ intervention,

no doubt focused on crime prevention.

He explained, in case anyone was mistaken,

that various conveyances cannot be taken

onto a motorway like the M62

(and then for those who haven’t a clue)

this gold plated, platinum coated gem:

“Bicycles are one of them.”

Which should not take a genius to work out

but unfortunately in West Yorkshire there’s not many about.

So if you think cycling on motorways is perhaps for you

remember the last person cycling on the M62

was a competitor from the Commonwealth

who cared about training but not his long term health.

I wonder if he was stopped on the M62

by PC Willis of the Boys In Blue?

So the moral of this worrying tale

is that even if you are a testosterone fuelled male,

there are many things you should not do

and one of them is ride a bike on the M62.
