Birgelen Veterans Charity Walk, June 2010
From Liverpool to Leeds the newsletter said
Walked over nine days. I carried on and read
Here's an initiation to some of you -
Come join in and see what you can do.
I joined at Bingley the very last stage
Just about enough for a man of my age.
Jacko came from Belfast, not seen him since 64
We spent three very pleasant hours in jaw jaw jaw.
For the last three miles I ended up on my own
Thanks the powers that be for the mobile phone
Because I hadn't listened and I got a little lost
And an extra half mile was the quite painful cost.
One wondrous pint on Leeds station,
As a driver just the one was my ration,
A goodbye to all at the end of that day
For I had to be up and on my way
To Tom and Kevin I raised my Stetson hat
Walked all the way and still smiling after that.
And the Veterans Association carries on and on
And the Birgelen Spirit still glows bright and strong
Walked over nine days. I carried on and read
Here's an initiation to some of you -
Come join in and see what you can do.
I joined at Bingley the very last stage
Just about enough for a man of my age.
Jacko came from Belfast, not seen him since 64
We spent three very pleasant hours in jaw jaw jaw.
For the last three miles I ended up on my own
Thanks the powers that be for the mobile phone
Because I hadn't listened and I got a little lost
And an extra half mile was the quite painful cost.
One wondrous pint on Leeds station,
As a driver just the one was my ration,
A goodbye to all at the end of that day
For I had to be up and on my way
To Tom and Kevin I raised my Stetson hat
Walked all the way and still smiling after that.
And the Veterans Association carries on and on
And the Birgelen Spirit still glows bright and strong
