An Ode on Running Early Doors and Brushing with Mother Nature

[SpeedMaQueen]

Bruce and I went running

That’s Bruce Springsteen not Forsyth

The sun just up, the morning air

Cut through me like a knife

I set out on a different route

Despite it being hilly

And in no time I had well warmed up

Though the temperature was chilly

Now since I started running

Way back in May this year

I’ve startled many rabbits

And occasionally deer

But today my brush with nature

Was closer than I’d choose

When I trod upon a badger

And near jumped out of my shoes

The poor thing was a goner

And the sight was proper grim

But though it was unpleasant

Twas a darn sight worse for him!

Yikes!

Why not Bruce Forsyth? 😂
