Side Trip to Surgery

A cyst where a cyclist must straddle
Made it hard to spend time in the saddle.
   I thought it behooved
   Me to have it removed,
Before it came time to skedaddle.
--------------------
The bump on my sit-upon is gone.
I'll be back in the saddle anon.
   I'll thank Dr. Millie
   O'er miles flat and hilly
As I cycle in comfort. Ride on!
--------------------
(two weeks later....)

But how does one measure "anon"?
That recovery estimate's long gone.
   It's healing too slow!
   Yet we're scheduled to go,
And I can't ride a bike yet. Doggone!
--------------------
(a few days later...)

A kind couple in our new clan
Proposed the following plan:
   Why don't I drive
   Until we arrive
In Montana? Car/bike caravan!

'Twould return their parked car to trip's end,
And give me three weeks more to mend.
   And so it was moved;
   The new plan was approved.
I'm quite grateful the planning could bend.
