If I Had A Hammer

Now I’ve got a hammer
And I've got a bell
And I've got a bike to ride
All over this land
It's a hammer for tent stakes
It's the bell of fire pits
It's the bike I ride to see all my brothers and my sisters

More Fun My Way

Oh you take the flat road and I’ll take the hilly road
And you might arrive before me
But I’ll get to climb and also descend
And I’ll have more fun my way

September 28, 2023 - Lake Taghkanic State Park, NY, to Lafayetteville, NY

Eighteen Pounds

I carry eighteen pounds, and what do I get?
Another day older but stronger I bet
St. Peter, don't you call me 'cause I can't go
I owe my soul to riding the road

September 27, 2023 - Cold Spring, NY, to Lake Taghkanic State Park, NY

The Climber

You’ve got to know when to stand up
Know when to sit down
Know when to walk the hill
Know when to coast
You never count your miles
When you’re sittin’ in the saddle
There’ll be time enough for countin’
When the climin’s done

Kumo

Hello _______ my old friend

I've come to talk with you again

Because the sushi that we plan to eat

We both know will be such a treat

And the nori that is wrapped around the rolls

Not to unfold

Makes maki great at Kumo

Kumo Sushi is where I enjoy all-you-can-eat sushi with friends.
