Report of the Morvich Meet: 10 March 1992
Having won the poetry competition at the above,. I decided to do this in verse. Please bear with me. I shall not do it again
The word went out, throughout the land
An Teallach's A.G.M. will meet. Morvich the place, by Duich's strand.
We all looked forward to the treat.
We travelled North, through snow and sleet.
The road , it really was a bitch
We all pressed on to reach the meet)
The Drydens landed in the ditch.
Snowy white it dawned again,
The weather was against us all.
A few set off for Fhada's Beinn,
The Tigers tackled Forcan's Wall.
The Forcan Ridge was safely climbed,
Beinn Fhada's snows defeated us.
We all returned ere evening chimed.
The meeting went with little fuss,
Sandy,Alan, Davie and Joe,
Did soon report the progress well.
They all deserved another 'go' ,
We endorsed them for another spell,
Mountain Safety followed then.
I To Robert's words we listened well.
Axes,Crampons, for snow on the Ben,
We must take care and live to tell!
Limericks and poems came from the troop,
Judged by three worthy members all.
Composed and read before the group
They held the company in thrall.
The trophy for the 'Biting Wit'
Was given to yours truly.
My verses were a 'Load of Shit'.
I'd bribed Gilmartin fully;
The night wore on wi' drink and chatter,
The Andersons grew yet more mellow.
Guitar music and singing matter
To every lass and every fellow.
The witching hour of midnight came.
'Twas then that Neill was thirty-six.
His Kissogram delivery dame
Gave him a most surprising mix!
But later she became exotic
When she did dance; it was just tops.
Her belly movements so erotic,
Our eyes were out like organ stops!
And so at last we went to bed.,
We dreamt of things and things and things.
The morning dawned, we'd slept like dead
We then got up and ate like kings
The Sunday picnic was just right.
The weather was so very good.
Glen Ledaig was the chosen site
For flasks of tea and piece-box food.
Then we went home with pleasant thoughts
Manchester,Perth, Southend-on-Sea,
Edina's burgh and other spots.
We will return just wait and see:
Postscript:
No doubt, I've missed out many things.
Be kind and do not criticise.
did not mean to hurt feelings.
For the omissions I apologise.
