Last year in the Spring
That terrible thing
The Beast from the East, spread its jaws
With eyes dark as death
And ice on its breath
Spreading bone-numbing cold with its claws
*
Now summer is here
A new foe to fear
A Dragon with fire in its mouth
We droop as we run
And we wilt in the sun
As we bow to this fiend from the South
*
But will we fade away
In the heat of the day
Will we just melt away in defeat
No we'll plan how to run
In spite of the sun
We runners will never be beat
*
In the cool of the morn
In the first light of dawn
We leave the Monster asleep in its lair
We'll run in the dark
Or get up with the Lark
We'll show him we simply don't care
*
We'll wear the right gear
We have nothing to fear
Hydration must be our best friend
We'll run in the shade
Air con' gym,woody glade
If it's cool, then we simply don't care
*
We'll be safe on our run
Won't go out in full sun
The runs wait and will always remain
The Dragon will go
There'll be rain,wind,then snow
And a new Beast to battle again!
*
Run Cool...Run Safe...Run Happy!
