Steerling Poem About 1971 Cross-Island Parkway Walkathon

________________________________________________________________________________________________

THE BIKER

easier to listen to
than to like
when everyone's walking
he's on his bike

talking while pedaling
to a pedestrian throng
Left foot, Right foot
but Left is never wrong

Left foot, Right foot
Good foot, Better foot
but it is all
for your 
bene-foot
***

The 1971 Cross-Island Parkway Walkathon
was sponsored by Dow Chemicals
where Frances' father was a chemist
and Frances was
—at that time—
a phraseologist

Frances did not attend the event
but based the poem
on his father's
recollections 

The Walkathon took place here:
