Lycra,
features prominently in the mornings
The would be joggers now working the Swan
The sky a massive blue shroud helps to colour
The great Swan River’s flow, and there upon
Its mighty banks
The avid joggers,
Lycra
emphasising every need
Every aspect of each working body
Walkers, talkers, runners do succeed
In trimming their past inches
in their moment
a headline run
an amble, yes indeed.
The kayakers protection
how its needed
hats and wraps
for clearly in this heat
a lonely kayaker
will soak the u.v up
paddling like crazy
on his seat.
