WEATHER'S SURPRISE

Was off in the morning,
the sun it was bright.
Went for a long ride,
and stayed out til night.
The weather was so hot,
all week's was the best,
so didn't wear leathers,
just Levis and vest.
Stayed out in the sunshine,
and rode hard all day.
As darkness approached me,
I headed home's way.
The darker the day got,
the winds they did chill.
A cold front had moved in,
to mess up the deal.
Along came some moisture,
the wind turned to frost.
A good thing the roads warm,
to offset the cost.
The ride home was so long.
My teeth they did rattle.
My joints, they were aching.
It was quite the battle.
Had shivers and shakes,
for the last 20 miles.
I pulled in the driveway,
and let out a smile.
I put the bike up,
and went in for the warmth.
Got me a hot cup,
and sat by the hearth.
I looked back and grinned,
as I realized my luck.
Today's ride was good times...
I'm home for the tuck.
Just have to remember...
that I'm not a duck.
