Marvels 2022

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.
