Poem of the day - Oocha Beastie

The ibuprofen makes Mike rattle, as he bikes it up the hills
While it's the bees and bugs Joe battles, fighting bites with bite-stop pills,
Suncream and Antihistamine, their bottoms gleam with nappy cream
A delightful sight like none you've seen, as Sudocrem seeps from every seam...
And frightening, biting natures beast, the midgy on the boys does feast
But not upon their butts at least, the rubbing today at least has ceased.

This isn't all that's now occurred, as though unheard of, though absurd
Joe got two punctures then a third while Michael broke his spoke.
But somehow, via thick and thin they're through, laughing like they always do,
Sticking together like paper and glue, cycling and having a joke
The mood is filled with 'we're near!' cheer, celebrated with another beer,
As towards their final stop they steer, from here to John O'Groats!
