Sometimes the advice you get would be best if someone used it themselves.


One Wheeler

Are you some one that loves a bicycle race,
The thrill of riding and the wind in your face,

I had a good friend many years ago,
Told me a story, you might like to know,

Said, I once rode the bicycle as a young boy,
Throwing newspapers ,but not to enjoy,

Dogs at my pedals every where I went,
I had lots of wrecks and all my money was spent,

Parts were costly but I had to pay,
Fixing that wheeler before the next day,

A good friend told me to try a new deal,
Said get a unicycle , they only have one wheel,

it’s cheaper to fix and with a newspaper sack ,
You can still do your job even with the dog pack,

Most folks don’t believe, I could do my full route,
A little unhandy , but I still got about,

Folks came outside to watch me pitch and sway,
And one good thing ,it kept their big dogs away,

Even family don’t believe, but when you learn to move it,
I rode the unicycle, I have doctor bills to prove it!

K2 beat me to "Wheeler dealer." Dammit! So here goes…



I'm quite familiar with doctor bill. He comes around quite frequently. As a cost-saving measure and to avoid polluting, mail carriers that bring him now ride unicycles that are higher than the leap of a pit bull which makes wounds rather nasty when a mail carrier falls, rather wishing he/she were bitten by a dog instead.



As always, a funny, catchy punchline.

Another good one, Tom! You must have been a real 'wheeler-dealer', LoL! But that's not exactly news to you, is it, eh? :)
