From Monday's first installment of "The Adventures of RevD and the HarleyMan":

On a quiet Sunday morning, in a wild and lonely place,
I found myself quite stranded on the road.
With very little warning, and not a bit of grace,
My trusty car had died near no abode.

Desperately I pleaded, with wide eyes and worried brow,
For some kind soul to help me on my way.
And I got just what I needed (as I fully realize now)
When "the HarleyMan" roared up and saved my day.

HarleyMan, O HarleyMan, in leather cool and black.
HarleyMan, O HarleyMan, like Shane won't you come back?

And today's installment:

He'd take no coin or payment for taking me to church,
Saying merely, "That's the way that I was raised!"
So I gave back his leather raiment, which he'd lent me in the lurch,
And he took my card and rode off, ducking praise.

Now when I see a Harley, on street or broad highway,
I get a funny feeling in my heart.
Like Scrooge with Jacob Marley, I think the biker's going my way,
And I pray another adventure's soon to start.

HarleyMan, O HarleyMan, in leather cool and black.
HarleyMan, O HarleyMan, like Shane won't you come back?

[to be continued -- suggestions for further improbable adventures always welcome]

Did I tell you earlier this week that I LOVE this poem? Well, I do...

I got that impression, but it's always nice to hear those sentiments repeated! Thanks!

I look forward to the verse describing your visit to the Land of Chocolate, where you met a Talking Pig called Ernest (or Ernie to his friends).

And hee! - keep those rhyming couplets coming.

I may have to slowly work up to the Land of Chocolate and Ernie the Talking Pig. Thanks for giving me such a challenge! I'll try not to disappoint!

I'm fighting off a strange, sudden urge to write RevDorothy/HarleyMan fanfic!

Well, don't fight that urge on my account! I'd love to see what you come up with!

Meanwhile, MissM has just suggested working in a scene where Spike (pretending to be a preacher) and RevD jointly lead an old-fashioned tent meeting service. I do love a challenge!
