BB1523 : Mad Dogs and Englishmen.....

Thursday 3rd July 2015

Almost 8 years to the day since Tony's comment that "Mad Dogs and Englishmen go out in the pouring rain" ( BB0719 ) the Mad Dogs were back, more conventionally this time.  One Englishman reports:

Mad Dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun
Going walking with the BOOTboys is always a lot of fun
So attacking Haystacks on the hottest day of the year
May appear to some folks to seem not a little queer

The fab four set off in good spirits
A debate about the path- "oh here 'tis"
Made steeper the climb than should have been
And one of the four at least was not too keen

Having hit a heat wall last year before
He certainly couldn't take it any more
So resting on a rock told the others "go on"
But their concern was touching and retorted "Non !"

So down they climbed after lunch with a view
It was at the time the only thing to do
Back at the Fish and rest with a beer
They all clinked glasses and said " 'ere 'ere !"
