Classic Quarter - foretelling of a coast path traverse in something approaching verse
Richard Wadman
Corporate Finance Director at PKF Francis Clark Chartered accountants & business advisers
Tomorrow, at ridiculously early o'clock some of my colleagues from PKF-Francis Clark Chartered accountants & business advisers are heading off to partake in the Classic Quarter ("CQ"). To commemorate the occasion a poem, of sorts, has been written, which I share with you below..
?
A coast path run
With camaraderie and fun
The CQ is this weekend
44 miles from Lizard to Lands End
?
Not including me
There are 17 (yes 17!) from FC
Who will be participating
And hopefully later celebrating
?
Beauty will be in abundance
To distract from the endurance
Keep the sea on your left, directions enough
Eyes and ears open for Cornish Choughs
?
Sea pinks are in bloom, just
Taking in the views is a must
Individuals become teams as batons are passed
Does not matter whether one is first or last
?
For each it will be a journey
Physically and mentally
Traversing the SW coast path
There may be tears, and a few laughs..
?
So, come down and cheer them on
Maybe in Penzance or Marazion
Or if not just wish them well
And on Tuesday ask them stories to tell
?
