Tour time
John Clare Stokes
Ahhh, good ole July I so looked forward to
for it meant the Tour de France to us few
Roger, Professor and Rick mostly
each our favorite rider to cheer for stage victories
It used to be the Americans like Lance
and Floyd or the French and Italian like Fignon,
Basso or the Pirate Pantani
Caught up in doping and removing victory from
history
Heroes were few
But we found new ones
Young and fast Sagans
Air the old gatorskins again to 110 psi
Squeeze into the stretched thin Lycra kit
Cinch the old dated Bell helmet for a spin
Just up Rossi Road hors category hill breathless
But hey, wasn’t I a Magnus fast coasting down!
