RUN 750 - MAY THE FORTH BE WITH YOU
 
Last weeks hash in Crediton, and Slippery was the Hare
We’re told to come in Fancy dress – you had time to prepare!
Our seven hundred and fiftieth run, Stars Wars was the theme
Some didn’t bother to dress up – some went to the extreme!!
 
Harriets came as princess Leia – Luke Sky Walker’s sister
Soapy wore her silver boots (and yes – she got a blister!)
Darth Vader too was popular they gathered in their masks
And Whyno was the little one…… if anybody asks!!
Like many others Stix had made the effort to dress down!
Cant blame him tho’, we did look odd when running through the town
Whoopsie, Coffin and Do Do did, do as they always do
Screech and Buzby didn’t do it, and Ullage didn’t do it too!
 
Puss had ordered T shirts to commemorate the night
(Wide Receiver’s getting boxers can’t wait to see the sight!)
Hoodies, pants and jogging bottoms, with logo printed black
And ‘May the Forth be with you’ was written on the back                            
 
A visitor from Sweden came – his name - Standing Ovation
He wasn’t dressed as Yoda, but joined in our Space station
Pork Torpedo and Hornie came – visitors for certain
and gathered in one corner were the local hashers – Kirton
Don’t think they quite believed it, they looked like frightened mice
To see the cast of Star Wars gathered – (I saw them looking twice!)
 
Bell Toll Vader gathered circle – Luke Slippery Walker spoke
Tried to tell about the trail, and sweet stop….. that’s a joke!!
All laid in flour but sometimes chalk and on the left or right?
With long short splits and fish hooks, we all got lost that night!
 
I’m glad I only ran the short – I’m told was 5 miles long!
The others ran for 7.5 – (or 9 if you went wrong!!!)
We started off across the road, looked up and down the street
Shortie shouted “on on” to that guy with great big feet!
Twiggy followed on behind Twice Knightly in white dress
“I think potatoes grow on trees” said little Woof Woof (bless)
 
At last we came to countryside, beyond the cottage thatch
Through kissing gates and dry footpaths came P.P. and Damp Patch
Then on through grassy fields we ran all hazardous and rocky
The Kirton boys show short cuts now to Imelda, FF and Spocky
Whyno Vader’s breathing getting laboured, his oxygen all gone
Had miraculous recovery, when No.2 said “Ill turn you on!”
 
Slippery warns to stop and look, before you cross the railway track
and tell short cuts to Hornie, and Soapy struggling at the back!
The arse in front to spur us on we thought was Melon Picker’s
But as we got up closer saw was Puss in her new knickers!
 
We ménaged (a trios) to miss the mud, the shiggy and the sweets
And after climbing cow dung hill, returned to run the streets.
Slippery gave a history lesson, said made wine from wild pear
Then round the corner saw O.H. thank God we’re nearly there
 
No time for circle in the car park, like the normal way
Everyone had gone to pub - Down downs inside today
Quick Rucka wore his brand new top with hood pulled over head
I liked the one that X Bits wore - almost the same but red!
 
Sir General Redvers Buller could be a new hash name
Named after pub in Crediton (what a claim to Fame!!)
The food was great and not to pricey, most people ate and drank
The down downs given – one to Slippery for great run we thank
Wide Receiver got a down down - pulling pussies on the run!
And all the visitors drank together their down downs down in one!
So I hope I’ve mentioned everyone – even Paul? in Blue
And Woof Woof - you got a down down - just for being you!!!
 
On on Soapy xxx
