The Road to St Agnes
Last night in the Mousehole deli
Angel served food that was heavenly
Then off to the Legion
Only place in the region
With the football on the telly
We settle the betting list
No penalties taken or missed
No Luke Shaw fire
No goals from Maguire
And Mount didn’t get an assist
Marconi made the first US call
From Porthcurno, which we reach at a crawl
With modern tech
You can phone home from Tibet
But round here there’s no signal at all
At Gurnard’s Head we take our first break
Which feels like a serious mistake
We’re 10 miles past
Where Steve first asked
And wait for chips because there’s no cake
“Pirates and Parrots” is the day’s theme
It’s hard to make sense of this meme
But we left from Penzance
And in Hayle there’s a chance
We’ll see creatures of red, gold and green
When we get there Steve jumps on a train
He’s had it with exhausting terrain
So we make no mark
On Paradise Park
And head for the coast again
Mark’s route from Portreath takes a twist
A miner’s track is hard to resist
Superior cruising
But posterior bruising
As Skinners Bottom is narrowly missed.
