Icarus

Everyone said it couldn't be done'
the 12 pub crawl known as "The Run".
A pint of Guinness and a shot of rum
all in two hours on "The Run".
He started off well in The Bell
Then off he trundled to The Barley Mow.

The rum was Woods, navy strength,
the Guinness black and smooth,
the pub was warm the night was cold.
The regulars cheered, and he felt bold.
The Fat Ox, The Plough, and The Rose
from one to the other he'd transpose.

With one pub left he thought he was dying,
he looked at the sign of the Old Red Lion.
Everyone said it couldn't be done,
he gritted his teeth and set to it.
He tackled "The Run" that couldn't be done.
And found he couldn't do it....................
