‘Shank’s pony’

Can’t ‘Shank’s pony walk a long, long way
Two legs and a couple of shoes can stroll forever and a day
I start dandering along a dusty road
and Crikey Moses it has been miles since I left my abode
But I get lost in my surroundings from the beautiful countryside and before I know it I had legged it far and wide

Climbing clovered hillsides and all the way to the top
Stopping for a breather to admire the sheer scenic drop
Then of course well what goes up must indeed come down so I trace my tread I walked before to the valleys heart and crown
There is beauty in abundance as I roam everywhere taking in the ambience and the clean, fresh air

On a dry day there will be nothing that stops me heading off on Shank’s pony wandering free
Just me and Mother nature and that’s all that I need to fullfil my satisfaction happily guaranteed
The older I get then the further I seem to walk and it’s amazing who I see on your travels for a talk
A little chitchat to pass the time of day then it’s ‘Goodbye nice to meet you” and I’m off on my way
