A poem by John Hay, Secretary of State to William McKinley and
Theodore Roosevelt:

> The Enchanted Shirt

> Fytte the First: _wherein it shall be shown how the Truth is too
> mighty a Drug for such as he of feeble temper_.

> The King was sick. His cheek was red
> And his eye was clear and bright;
> He ate and drank with a kingly zest,
> And peacefully snored at night.

> But he said he was sick, and a king should know,
> And doctors came by the score.
> They did not cure him. He cut off their heads
> And sent to the schools for more.

> At last two famous doctors came,
> And one was as poor as a rat,
> He had passed his life in studious toil,
> And never found time to grow fat.

> The other had never looked in a book;
> His patients gave him no trouble,
> If they recovered they paid him well,
> If they died their heirs paid double.

> Together they looked at the royal tongue,
> As the King on his couch reclined;
> In succession they thumped his august chest,
> But no trace of disease could find.

> The old sage said, "You're as sound as a nut."
> "Hang him up," roared the King in a gale,--
> In a ten-knot gale of royal rage;
> The other leech grew a shade pale;

> But he pensively rubbed his sagacious nose,
> And thus his prescription ran,--
> _King will be well, if he sleeps one night
> In the Shirt of a Happy Man_.

> Fytte the Second: _tells of the search for the Shirt and how it
> was nigh found but was not, for reasons which are said or sung_.

> Wide o'er the realm the couriers rode,
> And fast their horses ran,
> And many they saw, and to many they spoke,
> But they found no Happy Man.

> They found poor men who would fain be rich,
> And rich who thought they were poor;
> And men who twisted their waists in stays,
> And women that shorthose wore.

> They saw two men by the roadside sit,
> And both bemoaned their lot;
> For one had buried his wife, he said,
> And the other one had not.

> At last as they came to a village gate,
> A beggar lay whistling there;
> He whistled and sang and laughed and rolled
> On the grass in the soft June air.

> The weary couriers paused and looked
> At the scamp so blithe and gay;
> And one of them said, "Heaven save you, friend!
> You seem to be happy to-day."

> "O yes, fair sirs," the rascal laughed
> And his voice rang free and glad,
> "An idle man has so much to do
> That he never has time to be sad."

> "This is our man," the courier said;
> "Our luck has led us aright.
> "I will give you a hundred ducats, friend,
> For the loan of your shirt to-night."

> The merry blackguard lay back on the grass,
> And laughed till his face was black;
> "I would do it, God wot," and he roared with the fun,
> "But I haven't a shirt to my back."

> Fytte the Third: _shewing how His Majesty the King came at last to
> sleep in a Happy Man his Shirt_.

> Each day to the King the reports came in
> Of his unsuccessful spies,
> And the sad panorama of human woes
> Passed daily under his eyes.

> And he grew ashamed of his useless life,
> And his maladies hatched in gloom;
> He opened his windows and let the air
> Of the free heaven into his room.

> And out he went in the world and toiled
> In his own appointed way;
> And the people blessed him, the land was glad,
> And the King was well and gay.

"Troopers say before the crash, the driver of the SUV tried to avoid the
bullet bike a couple of times, as it weaved in and out of traffic and almost
hit another car."

Well. That piece of clear journalistic writing should just about sum it all
up. And while I would have liked to have seen the footage from the chase
vehicle on the scene, I suppose we're just lucky to have footage from DPTY
CHOFFMN's dashboard camera which, apparently uncharacteristically, was on
and rolling taping. We get to see a brief flash of a "bullet bike" (don't
blink!) going the other way, and then flaming wreckage and a mother fearful
for her children.

Why post this shit, Bryan? There were no facts, no content, just
anti-motorcycle editorial using only innuendo, disguised as lighthearted
reporting. By any other name, it was the lowest form of cheap shot. It's bad
enough that KSL dumped that into your unthinking heads and got away with it.
But why post it to the rest of the world? I flush the toilet a second time
when a turd floats around instead of leaving, rather than scoop it out to
share with house guests. Don't you do the same? If you really were the
ambitious type, wouldn't you fix the plumbing rather than call us in to
look?

I posted it because of the flames. Rarley do motorcycle wrecks result in
fire.

And the video game comment. I guess you've never played Grand Theft Auto..
