One Of Many Fools Poem by Shaun Cronick

One Of Many Fools

Rating: 5.0


I'll climb a Welsh mountain,
In just a pair of shorts.
I'll do it when its sunny,
Ignoring all weather reports.

Brr! Its suddenly got chilly,
The light is fading fast.
Now its beginning to rain,
How long will I now last.

I'm trapped on this mountain,
Now feeling such a clown.
When I spy Mountain Rescue,
Who give me a dressing down.

A rebuke to never forget,
For breaking climbing rules.
And I am not the first
Just one of many fools.

Very funny poem Shaun...yes these idiots will always be with us. What about those student back packers that go to EXTREMELY DANGEROUS places for their hols? ! Can you imagine the scenario..O Seb let's go mountain climbing in Afghanistan...should be lots of fun. Yes Henrietta I hear the natives are a bit unfriendly, but it should be okay...aaargh...what fools! It's definitely a many a narcissistic tool tries to get to the top of a mountain inspired ten from me!

Indeed, we must never ignore weather reports. Weather sometimes is tricky. The sun can bring its bright and golden beams but in an instant it can be covered by dark clouds that bring a thousand storms.
