I love this great little pink bike
handlebars decked out with pink
It had a bell too (I heart my bike)
The accoutrements used today are "manufactured"
In the old day it was all homemade
We used playing cards and clothes pins on the spokes
I loved that sound when we rode our bikes
Instead of boughten ribbon hanging from the handlebars
I stuffed crepe paper in the holes of the handlebars
sometimes I even laced crepe paper
between my spokes
alternating colors
Accoutrements are our way of making something our own
Our way of individualizing what we have
creating a uniqueness out of something that isn't
What have you accoutered lately?
