Riding in the snow

yeah, Madison but a former ... icon of Madison had one of these stupid blog thingees and said, something along the lines of (mid-winter, snowiest Dec. in blah years) "bicyclist who ride in this snow should be taken out and shot" - now not to dwell on his descent from Radical to ... well, executioner; me, a well-known snow rider, w/ apologies to John Prine:
Please don't Shoot me for Riding in the Snow
Oh, please don't shoot me for riding in the snow
I've already had my brush w/ death
and I've got miles to go.
Cars and trucks
try my luck
Jack frost will bite my ears
Sure don't need no lawyers,
giving them idea-rs.

Went out this morning
bike lane full of snow
the city bus done crowd me
the 'share the road' sticker ain't so.
SUV don't see me
talking on the phone
better I guess than under the wheels
to take a face full of snow.

Oh please don't execute me
for riding in the snow
Even Brown will run you down
If you fall by the side of the road
Handle bars are no match for cars
My life is in my hands,
Don't need any lawyers,
Making any plans.
