Poem
I'm building a tandem for sure you will like -
The kind with two seats, it's that sort of bike.
No basket in front, no bell on the bars,
And yet when you ride it you'll think it's from Mars.
The wheels are quite sturdy; they're twenty four spoke -
Strong tension and bladed - high speed: that's no joke.
The brakes on the bike: one front and two rear.
It stops pretty quick, so please have no fear.
Preceding the bike: an invisible shield.
Can't touch it or feel it; it's some magic field
That pushes aside the wind from the front.
No wonder we'll pass you with hardly a grunt.
"The frame of your tandem, it's carbon or steel?
What do you say, titanium for real?!"
Not carbon nor Ti, and the tubes aren't lean.
The number atomic: my lucky thirteen.
