PADDLING MY OWN CANOE (er.. kayak!)
Step in! overcome the fear!
Find muscles you didn't know you had
On the cool summer waters of the Thames.
You are so silent, I'll always remember your smell.
Whish! you float by but lookout for that rosebush!
You're caught in a jungle, you're up the Amazon!
See that enormous fish? Heron, baby coots,
Egyptian ducks. You think you're me, sneers a swan. Well you're not!
That's borage and that's a spinach.
Wave to boats called Dolly Daydream or
Cirrhosis of the River!
Up to historic Runnymede, your breadth and beauty is great.
Four and a half miles or smiling is tiring!
You're sinking in a lock then you're back up again
Crashin' down the river
Paddling your own canoe (er.. kayak).
Beautiful Datchet - the launch!
Messin' about on the river
Coming up to beautiful Runnymede
Halted at Old Windsor Lock
Team Kayak!
