Busted Rear Derailers
 
Stopped at a light.  A blistering hot day.  Two commuters, commuting.  
  
A younger man, who did not care.  An older man, who may know better.
 
And the older man said, 'Frankly though, it probably is the right thing to do,'
 
And the younger man said, 'I hope it is,'
 
And the light stayed red.

And the older man said, 'But frankly, i don't think he's going to find it,'
 
And the younger man said, 'I really don't know;'  
  
And the light stayed red.  
 
And the younger man thought for a moment, stared up at the sun, and realised something to say.
 
'You know, you can live your life with no expectations and be content with whatever befalls you, or you can live your life with great expectations and never be satisfied regardless the boon.   There is no fixed value, just you and your mind, and how you trick it is up to you.'

And the older man agreed.
 
And the light turned green.
