@+e Forum The Early Morning Risers

They meet at the park at the crack of Dawn A crowd of keep fitters ready to run It may be a joy to those who are there But it’s not everyone’s idea of fun They limber up with a cup of coffee And a few stretches to start the day Up and about at Sparrow Fart They will soon be on their merry way As they gather in a reasonable line Someone blows a whistle and off they go Charging way into the early morning mist Just like a rivers flow A wise old Owl sat up in a tree Watches intently as they go running by I bet he thinks to himself O why O why O why A passing magpies lets it be known That he will follow along A hidden in the bushes nearby A Robin lets out a song Those overweight don’t last too long And soon begin to walk The others go about their merry way As they continue to run and talk
It takes about an hour To reach the end of the run Believe it or not this is what is called Early morning fun But it’s mostly groans and coughs you hear As they amble back to the car park Never again I hear people say Hear, Hear” says some bright spark I think I will stick to my early morning walk Less energetic and painful in the end And enjoy the company of my little Sparrow My early morning friend.
