I know him ha ha. A very good character study. Check first line, second stanza. "Pleather".
Do you mean leather? A nice fun read. Best wishes Jen.

No, I meant pleather. My way of saying fake leather. Thank you for reading and for your review.
Comment from Sharon Haiste
A nicely done verse. Well rhymed.
Your story is clear and well told here.
We've all known at least one of these loosers in our lifetimes.
Thank you for sharing this with us.

I enjoyed your rhyming pattern. I liked the comical edge to it. There isn't anything I would do differently. I liked your second stanza most. Please keep up the good work.

I enjoyed this as I remember that card trick and trying hard to fit in. I also had sympathy for Billy. He wanted to belong so bad and just never quite succeeded. I don't see any "glitches" in the writing.

Comment from James H. Oldfield
Haha, the picture's brilliant :)
Lovely poem, very funny, but them, I think we've all known a kid like this.
Final line of stanza three, I know in the UK we'd say 'tyres' ('tires' meaning 'becomes tired'). I'm not sure if that's the same elsewhere, but I thought I'd flag it just in case. Of course, if 'tire' is the conventional spelling, you can ignore this comment.
Great job, I enjoyed this.
Take care.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Yes I remember this! The kids in my street did this to make the wheels sound like an engine roaring! A clever poem about wanna-be bikers and how the yearning to grow up and be with the big boys made us all look so funny! Magical memories recorded here in your words, love Dolly x

Thank you for reading my poem and for your review. I wasn't sure if it was just us or if other people did that.
Comment from royowen
Things were pretty basic when I was a boy, bullying wasn't generally bad, but some kids tended to be picked icon, by teacher and pupil alike, I remember the cards pegged to frame. Beautifully written Ward, some great language rich narrative, a nicely couplet rhyming work, excellent job my friend, blessings, Roy

Comment from Lloyd T. Okoko
The work exposes the crude idiosyncrasies of a teenager who wanted to carve a niche for himself as a bad biker dude.
The work highlights his total lack of clue, poor dress code, his bike with playing cards clicking on it, his inability to cope with the tenets of the gang that ditched him and his being acknowledged as a joke by all in his society.
The work earns it's texture through the use of rhymes and alliteration.
Excellent work! Keep the flag flying!

A very well-written poem about the silly biker and hoe he tried his best but failed terribly and decide to get himself a girl who was nearly three time his own age. Lol.

Comment from LIJ Red
Is that the guy that rides the bicycle with the weed-eater motor taped and wired to drive the back tire by a friction pulley who rides around LIJ with the HOMELESS WIRE ART FOR SALE sandwich sign on his back? No, I ain't kidding.
I had a Western Flyer and a deck of cards, and thought the widow R.N.S. was finer than frog hair, when I was about eleven...excellent poem!
