Hike

preparation done

his backpack full

a day on the hillside

its never that dull

 

Planned out a walk

cross moorland and hill

And stopping at reservoir

watching time stand still

 

Following a way

that’s old as Time

he’s having a packed lunch

when his watch does chime

 

Armed with a compass

binoculars and map

this accomplished hikers

a happy chap

 

and he’ll scribble his thoughts

at the boathouse by the edge

having drink at the pub

the sandpipers wedge
