This is how the bicycle date was supposed to turn out.
Michael was a clever romantic guy. That’s why he arranged to meet her later when she would get all of his attention. Bringing a prop on a firstdate says to a girl that she’s not really enough for you. It’s a distraction that makes the girl feel distant.
That’s how I see it. But I’m just an old fashioned romantic 
Unicycle Michael continued …
Sue decides to buy a unicyle
So she can impress her boyfriend, Michael.
I wonder what colour, now let me think
She calls up “Bri” and decides on pink
She buys a uni and practises hard
Everyday in her own backyard
Finally she’s ready to spring her surprise
N’ show off her uni and prove she can ride
Hi! Michael what do you think
I’ve bought a new uni, coloured “Bri” pink
Hey! that’s a cool uni, but are you able to ride
She jumps on her uni and shows off with pride
She does flips n’ turns just like him
That’s cool he says with a big grin
Now is the time Michael doesn’t tarry
He presents the ring and asks her to marry
And she says ooooh Michael 
Ahh! isn’t that sweet. 
Michael and Sue’s weeding day. But all is not what it seems…
Wedding bells chime, the big day is here
The crowd has gathered, all in good cheer
There’s Kris and Roger, Terry and Aracer
Alucard and Vertigo and and Sue’s dress maker.
Michael arrives early, best man by his side
Waiting there patiently to be joined with his bride
She arrives a bit late then stumbles and falls
She picks herself up and clings to the walls
She’s drunk as can be and continues to ramble
Her dress is all torn and her hair is a shambles :o
Oh no, this can’t be, says Michael in terror 
As the alarm bell rings, there’s been some error
The clock alarm, that is 
Michael wakes up it was all just a dream
He begins to panic, is Sue even real 
He reaches his arm and picks up the phone
Calls her number but no one’s at home
He begins to panic then hears a knock on the door
He goes downstairs and opens, his faith is restored
It’s Sue right there, beautiful as ever
He holds her tight, says, don’t leave me ever…
To be continued.
Does anybody out there even read this thread ??
Yes, and I love it! 
First time I’ve actually clicked on this thread, and I’m glad I did! What a great story in poetry Unibokk, I look forward to the next installment
Thanks AEV D.
Thanks Juni
Awwwww, unibokk,
That was lovely
Was I a bridesmaid ? I’ve never been a bridesmaid 
I was reading it out loud to hubby and there were ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs’
Gripping stuff !
Can we have another instalment soon please
( PS, Thank you for brightening my day )
Thanks Alucard. Yes that last episode was quite dramatic. I think brides maids are traditionally young unmarried virgins so I’m afraid that role is not for you since your already married
But you are definitely up there with the elite.
I have a new instalment ready and will post it soon
Sue takes Michael to see her father
Michael asks can I marry your daughter
Father asks, have you seen her mother
Yes! but it’s Sue I want, I’ll take no other :o
No! I meant, have you spoken to her mother about your plan
To marry our daughter and be her man
Sorry! I thought you meant … Oh! never mind
Michael is nervous as Sue nudges him from behind :o
Sue’s mom and dad are quite fond of Michael
And very impressed that he can unicycle 
They deliberate together and are of one mind
They like Michael, he’s thoughtful and kind
Sue and Michael have so much in common
He’s her man and she’s his woman
The answer is “yes”, her father announces
You may marry and be each other’s spouses…
to be continued…
The trail goes on so very far
Down from from where I parked the car
Now far ahead the trail has gone
And I must follow if I can
Pursuing it on bruising seat
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and trails meet
And whither then, I cannot say.
The big day is here… Michael and his unicycle continued…
The bells are ringing
The big day is here
A big crowd has gathered
They’re all in good cheer
A man climbs the belfry
As the ringing bells sound
A bell hits his face
And he falls to the ground
John Foss runs over
To the man who ain’t well
Says, "I don’t know his name
But his face rings a bell
“Ah! Now I remember
It was the year ninety three”
"He was riding a Shwinn
And racing against me
“He won in Berlin
I do recall
It’s sad to see
This great champion fall”
The man speaks quietly
John inclines his ear
Says the man to John
“Can you get me a beer”
“Tut, tut.” Says John
As the ambulance draws close
“No, cos your injured
With a flat bloody nose”
The ambulance men treat him
And take him away
They reassure the crowd
That the man will be ok
to be continued …
A little riddle-haiku for you.
The child rides on four
Two lost with his innocence
Born again on one
His first ride was a pram
He matured to riding a bicycle
Cycling became a whole new experience when he began unicycling
Ding ding ding. 
Thanks Foxy. Once I got the first line, the rest fell into place.
Unicycle, unicycle
Where’s your other wheel?
Hee!
Unicycle, uni psych!
Aluminum or steel?
Makes me feel
Like a real
One-wheel mother
Where’s your other
Wheel, brother?
Here’s the deal:
I don’t need another
Wheel, brother
For someone to
Steal, brother
Unicycle, unicycle
That’s good.
Were you aware of the similar riddle in Greek mythology? What goes on four legs when young, two when older and three when in old age? (The third leg being a walking stick.) Similar idea.
Thanks! Yes, I am very aware of that particular riddle - I would say it’s the most famous one of all time, posed to Oedipus Rex by the Sphinx if I’m not mistaken. Definitely a similar vibe to what I was going for.
The most famous riddle of all time is, “What have I got in my pocket?”
