Force Of (Riding) Habit



She stood ready, dressed for cycling,
     In her latest costume, sweet;
And her husband, charmed, enraptured,
     Could have worshipped at her feet.

She was in the act of mounting,
     Yet she seemed to hesitate;
Then she asked, with old-time vigor,
     “Are my bloomers on quite straight?”
