Kinda Odd...

I ride my bicycle in a club    
for one or two or three wheel bikes,    
mines a trike and I overheard, " I'd like    
to ditch these fat-old-lard-tubs...    
   
And shoot off to the ' Land of Nod '    
then, " sure let's do it, let us get gone    
but what's with this ' Land of Nod ' hon?    
" It's my local and, considered, kinda odd..."

Syllabic Places

This prompt a vehicle
for wheels turning round

I once heard words take you places
I was moved by the sound

Such a sentence shook me
took me to ground

I now ask,
is there any thought so profound?

The Train

I took the train again
to see if you'd be there
 
all I heard were complaints
from passengers about the delay
to reach the next station
for relatives were waiting there
 
I wonder
will you be on this train one day?

casting stones at beatles

we were waiting for the yellow submarine  
it was coming to take us away
 
I was next in line listening to mister Jimmy
needing a prescription but never got what he wanted
 
then some fool on the hill in the dead of night
invited us all in thru his bathroom window
 
everyone seemed pleased to meet him
but hells bells, how many times should we guess his name?

ESCAPE

ever ride just for fun
in a truck that will not run?

she say "whachu cussin' for"

he walks right out and slams the door

i take that ride to Folly Beach
or someplace quiet, out of reach

would you like to take a ride?
just buckle up and close your eyes

8 stops until the moon.

And there he was, distracted by the stars
passing through the glass window of the bus.
 
Pondering what he had heard aside:
..."maybe it's not ideal for you"...
and the hours it could take to arrive
in that small town where they met.

Would time that passes be able to confirm it
to be worth the effort to go and try?
