Skipton With Gareth
Methinks ‘twas Skipton in our sights
When Nigee fell afoul
Of big bad storm named Gareth
As gales about did howl
His corn was really painful
His boots were prone to leak
But like a super trooper
Of this he’d hardly speak
With puddles he was wary
Side-stepping in the mud
But then to earth he’d tumble
With an almighty thud
At hotel stop he’d had enough
His ribs just wracked with pain
And so next day we headed home
With plans to walk again.
