the 10 of 12 given words:
thewless (adj. lacking vigour or energy)
deasil (clockwise motion in a variety of rituals.)
counterweight (an action that is intended
to balance or counter other actions)
drab envy correspond pressurize 
qualify ginger revolve 

nothing thewless a counter-deasil
with lots of counterweight efforts
nothing drab but lots of excitement
the envy of other manly sportsmen

corresponds to a pressurized
activity exacting a boiling point
of the adrenaline at all times

to qualify as expected
a contending participant needs
to gingerly control the speed
of the wild machine

that should help resolve
all of the worries and concerns
of their loved ones

  3. Fun read, Hank. I used to RIDE motorcycles and RACE cars. Races won't be won by "gingerly control(ling) the speed of the wild machine."

    1. Have to 'abuse' the wild machine to win races. They are built to take and enjoy the abuse.

  4. The lines about "pressurized activities / exciting" made me laugh. Because, well... I have the sense of humor of a teenager.

    But then I get to the last stanza, and all the fun goes away. Very sobering ending, Hank.

  5. Usually they prefer the wild ride to the more careful one. No wonder their loved ones worry. Well said, Hank.

  7. Adrenaline rushes to be tempered with counterweights to assuage loved ones. Cleverly done!

  8. Yes, the loved ones do want a more controlled ride for sure. My son recently bought a motor cycle and I secretly hoped someone would steal it, so he could never ride it. Fortunately he decided to sell it.
