I got up early to go for a run
In the steep hills of Cheshire’s own Lyme Park
First off, I did my old warm-up routine
Of press-ups, knee-jerks, stretching. The car park
Was cold in my running gear, and the spark
Of my car ignition failed several times
But thank God, after several tries, it worked
And I drove down to Pott Shrigley to find
Lots of cars there. Obviously great minds
Think alike. The post-Christmas keep-fit scene
Was in full swing even at ten. A leak
Behind a bush, then I set off to climb
Those steep hills, puddles frozen, frost and sun
And woolly-hatted folk out for a walk
