Wups?

Rumor has it...this is Wups.

Duncan (yo-yo)

Out on a typical recumbent bike ride around the hills past the fairgrounds, Duncan came across a young family of cyclists having themselves a time on the road below the barn.  The kids were attempting to ride quickly up the steep dirt incline next to the wooden steps installed by the park, with Father stationed at the top of the rise ready to give a hand to anyone who was failing and Mother directing traffic to prevent major collisions below.  Duncan gave an empathetic grunt and clenched his jaw as one of the little girls made a go of it.  Another caught sight of him and smilingly waved at him to take a run.
"I'll never make it."
"Yes you will", she laughed at him.
He decided to up the humor in a Spike Milligan fashion:  "OHH, but my legs!  My poor legs!  Have you seen them? So very poor, my poor legs.  Not a buck and a quarter between them."

Within an hour he was under arrest, charged with Probable Lewd Behavior, one of the newer raft of laws that had recently made its way through the legislature under the statewide Better Safe Than Sorry initiative.

Life on the mainland
was never quite so sweet
as when the sea drew the trees
in the sand at my feet.
