August 18, 2005 | Friday Bike Poetry

Those of you with a yearning in the heart for a cruiser of old and a burning in your brain to turn your two-wheel lust into poetry, here's your chance to pick up Debbie with a little cash money and a sweet sonnet.

From the Sacramento Craigslist ad:

Single Blue Bike seeks somone to ride her into the sunset. I'm Debbie Schwinn , in my late 40's, and newly divorced. From a g-d-bastard.

Dang it. I wasn't going to mention that SOB.

But you think you know someone after 25 years of marriage. One minute you're cruising along just fine, enjoying the scenery together, and then the next minute he tells you he's met someone else.

Not just ANYONE else, mind you.

Someone younger with more gears. And Calliper brakes.

Bastard.

Ok, so I'm no spring chicken, but I prefer the term Vintage. I may have been around the blocks a few times--but honey, I'm ready to roll. Check out these curves and tell me I'm not one fine looking chick.

Update!

Wow! I knew I was good lookin', but thanks to all who responded for that confidence booster! There are just too many to choose from at random, and besides that's no fun, so I thought I'd make it a little more interesting. Announcing the:

"Win Debbie's Heart Poetry Contest"

If you are still interested in winning my wheels, please write your best poem on my two favorite topics: Time Travel and Marshmallows. The writer that impresses me the most shall have first dibs, and if he/she decides to pass, then on to the next best.

[...]

On your mark. Get set. Go!

Love,
Debbie Schwinn
