Simon the bloke
Snowdonia’s man
extreme wind and blizzards
that’s his plan
as fit as can be
on the mountains we see
a diminutive figure alone
gloved up and trousered
sloshing along
gets out his stove
sardines and noodles
does belong
fortified, he goes on his way
to the highest lake
on this Wintry day
built of sterner stuff He be
Earth and sky
And Infinity.
