When Wench

Swing a wrench and have your fun

Ply the pliers and grip the wire

T wench, socket, tork screw

Axle nut adjustment tight and right

Rim tape, bar tape farrel ends and hoods

Details and cables all become simple

Once the break down happens the need

To get home invents the mind to function

Chains and gears want the care of focus

Easy to ride and not feel the drag, until

The squeak calls out for lubing

Clean it feed it bathe it in oil

The mechanics of bikes are simple

The work is kinky in dirtying hands

Give in to the need and change the tire

Replace the breaks, ask and see the

Habitual detail methods used by pros or

A ingenuous use for necessity that works

And give a helping hand in the end

To the poor sod without a clue to get home.
