The night before I did my Royal Canal Run in 2019 a good Running Buddy of mine sent me this “little ditty” to be sung to the tune of The Auld Triangle. It’s too good not to share.
A nervous feeling, was with I was dealing
with my stomach reeling, I did not feel well
and the boys had fun, as they did run
all along the banks of the Royal Canal
It was early mornin, and i should be snoring
but the miles were soarin, and now i did feel well
and the boys had fun, as they did run
all along the banks of the Royal Canal
Up, the miles were creepin, and my feet were weepin
and my heart was leapin, i was nearly there
and the boys had fun, as they did run
all along the banks of the Royal Canal
Oh the sun was settin, but we were not frettin
a day for not forgettin, and I wish you well
and the boys had fun, as they did run
all along the banks of the Royal Canal
