I Remember

by Doris Fenner
The challenge to our members on this occasion was to write a poem containing 10 randomly chosen words. The words were as follows:
Google, Anagram, Difficult,  Patience, Remember, Weather, Bicycle,  Small, Hesitation, Question
but not necessarily in that order.

I remember the hesitation as a small child
I RTo learn to ride a bicycle
The question was, will I, or will I not, fall off
My parents were very patient
But my friends did all scoff

As time went by I joined a club
And cycled everywhere through sun and mud
The open life, that's for me
But up in Scarborough by the sea
I met this girl, as pretty as can be

I lover her dearly, but times got difficult
As it seems the weather upset her hair
She wasn't being very fair
The bike must go, so on Google I went to find a car
I didn't have to look very far
Which pleased her no end
And she said, "Ooh Ta!"

The car was great and to celebrate
We took her old Gran for tea and cake
Not knowing the old lady was good at anagrams
She kept us amused until quite late
Then we went home to cogitate
