| |
It happened on a Sunday; |
| |
It was to Mike's surprise, |
| |
The turnout was fantastic |
| |
He couldn't believe his eyes. |
| |
|
| |
The thirty lads all stood in wait |
| |
All ready for the dash, |
| |
Then a shout came out and all heads turned |
| |
For the start of this memorable hash. |
| |
|
| |
The Leaders started down the track |
| |
All fit and running strong |
|
But only the Hares really knew . |
| |
That it wouldn't last for long. |
| |
|
| |
We gradually started up the hill, |
| |
All mouths dry and cast, |
| |
And some of us would have turned back |
| |
If we knew it wasn't the last. |
| |
|
| |
There's Bill & Sam, Graham & Paul, |
| |
All determined not to quit; |
| |
When told at the start "You've got no chance", |
| |
Replied "Haven't we? Oh, shit!" |
| |
|
| |
There were lots of surprised young faces, |
|
As we climbed the final hill, |
| |
'Cause up on top, still going strong |
| |
Were Graham, Sam and Bill. |
| |
|
| |
I managed to climb to the top of the hill, |
| |
My legs completely gone, |
| |
And out of the distance came the famous words: |
| |
"On-on, On-on, On-on!" |
| |
|
| |
First in was Mark, "The Apostle", |
| |
Who ran considerably well; |
| |
The last was Martin James, "The Raft", |
| |
Who phrased "Oh, What the hell!" |
| |
|
| |
All in all a very hard run, |
| |
As I'm sure that many will say, |
| |
But there are some of us who are gluttons for pain |
| |
And can run around all day. |
| |
|
| |
There are also a few who had promised to run |
| |
But decided to stay at home |
| |
Without mentioning names |
| |
There's Colin, Tony, Adrian, Dave |
| |
And not to forget McCrone! |
