BIKE DRIVE FOR BIKE LAB MARCH 14thh!HH!H!H!

YO BIG COLD OUTSIDE BUT DONT LET THAT STOP Y'ALL
KEEP RIDING WRITING WRITHING ON THE FROZED GROUND
UNTIL AN ICICLE FALLS AND BREAKS YER GOGGLES, AND A VISION FORMS
FROM IMPACT, A VOICE DEMANDS JUSTICE! DEMANDS THAT YOU DONATE THE OLD CLUNKER OF A BIKE BEHIND THE GARAGE TO THE CAUSE! TO THE KIDS! THE ICICLE
IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF OUR DAY, THE BIKE DRIVE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF MARCH 14TH, THE DAY OF DONATION!
LET IT BE KNOWN
WE (HENRY) WILL GIVE YOU A BACK RUB
FOR A USED BIKE!
LET IT BE KNOWN!
I DONT KNOW IF ANYONE EVER READS THIS
IF SO I APOLOGIZE FOR THE CAPS LOCK
