Song of the Night Hike

[chaletian]

See my attention seekiness: I can't not post when I am composy and quite blatantly in the running for the next poet laureate.

Thought I would share the newly composed epic pome, 'The Song of the Night Hike' (to be recited in a lilting manner, the phrase 'night hike' being intoned in roughly the same was as 'toot sweets' in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (either that or 'bring back, bring back' in My Bonny Lies Over the Ocean). You get the idea).

THE SONG OF THE NIGHT HIKE (punctuation optional)

O night hike, night hike
Tell me the joys of the night hike
Leaping o'er ditches and wading through wet grass
All for the fun of the night hike

O night hike, night hike
What does one do on a night hike?
Picking up fishes and speaking of aliens
All these one does on a night hike

O night hike, night hike
How does one eat on a night hike?
Sweeties and Pringles, all mini and cute
Only the best for the night hike

O night hike, night hike
Who can one mock on a night hike?
Jan full of glucose and L on a manhole
Freely we mock on the night hike

O night hike, night hike
Oh, what to wear on a night hike?
Edelweiss neckers and jumpers of blue
This is the look for the night hike

O night hike, night hike
How can one shine on the night hike?
Dressed up and glowing with colours a-plenty
Thusly we shine on the night hike

O night hike, night hike
Soon it will finish, the night hike
Clutching new badges back home we do go
Finishing grandly the night hike
