The weather forecast
promised it clearing
clearing by 6 pm
and - surprise, surprise
it did start to clear
by 6 pm
blue sky
some say
so out to Princetown
which had not heard
the weather forecast
in the gloop
up to North Hessary
and out towards
Herne Hole
neatly down
unerringly
to Hill 60 Quarry
to the Red Cottages
and out by Yellowmeade
to shelter
by Foggintor
for a nice cuppa
time was pressing
but Swelltor insisted
down the shortcut
round by the cabin
and back to the railway
a steady pace
was maintained
to make the PoW
in good time
for a jolly nice pint.
