I've tried to pen a ditty
About Mich's run club
But found it quite difficult
To avoid a personal snub
To include everyone
In a review of the last year
Is practically impossible
And I'll miss out on a cheer
Luckily I'm fearless
So here it is I'll have a go
Mich's Marvels 2021
All you need to know
We want to keep on running
To try and keep us sane
When all around us flounder
Engulfed in the Covid flame
From what I see of all of you
There's hope for this world still
A club of support and encouragement
Like a dosed up magic pill
There's the comfort of the Definite's
Like Donna with a moan
Or Lucie not keen on my new route
And Georgina on the throne
There's pride in your achievements
Too many for me to list
From Angie and the beginners
To Helen doing London pissed
Rob got his marathon done
Ellie quick before destroying her knee
Meg running angry fast
And Jayne a 10k pb
Everyone is welcome
Some come and some may go
We hope its only temporary
Whichever way the flow
An original returned when Lou came back
A swap with The Stallion who's been missed
Lisa crocked her knee long term
We hope it get's fully fixed
The rest of us have tried to crack on
The regulars keep on coming
Kev and Linz and Holly and Jayne
Make it look easy, this running
It seems you'll do whatever you're told
Cat will always be merry
Even sprinting up a hill
For orange segments from Terry
Not everyone is born to run
Some are more Dolphin
Try and keep up with Sally
When she is having a swim
Marvel's aren't just Tamworth
We come from far and wide
The Vicky's from Nuneaton
One armed John from Humberside
(he's not, he's from Kent but it doesn't rhyme)
The fancy dress has been awesome
Jo and Mel don't need an excuse
Reindeers and Elves a plenty
And barely any abuse
Apart from the odd local scrote
Trying to ruin our run as a pack
When the local low life strike
Each Marvel has each other's back
Nicola and Emma a formidable pair
So are Alison and Gill
It's funny how you all buddy up
No one is left standing still
Elley and Kirsty are always first
In the coffee house after
It's often the best part of a run
Being together surrounded by laughter
And that's a big part of why
Mich brought us all to the club
It's not just the fitness, the making us buff
Its the friendships, the sharing a hug
We all run for various reasons
But mainly just to stay sane
While we all battle life's shitstorms
As Marvel's we ease the pain
I make no promises for '22
I hope there will be a fix
But The Marvels will be out for a run
Every Monday and Wednesday at 6.
