This poem was sent to me by Chris our biggest Mercian fan who commissioned it from Willie Carton . He very kindly gave me permission to post it here for you all to read. I,m sure you agree with me its very good indeed. By the way check out Chris flicker site there is a link on this blog.
Thank you, Chris.
MERCIAN MAN
Born and bred in Derby, pride of the age Famous in cycling on every stage Great steel and chrome expertly built Ride like a dream and finished with care Just for a fast man to carve through the air Sought after and dreamt about, with world wide esteem Only those who ride Mercian know what I mean
Willie Carton, Feb. 09
