The other day I was taking a walk in my local park when this poem jumped into my head. It wasn’t this well written then, of course, I did work on it when I got home. It‘s just a bit of fun really. It’s a good poem for a group to recite while walking — a marching poem or cadence, is what it is. It’s based on the chants I have heard actors playing military recruits chant as they march or run. It just goes to show that inspiration can come from anywhere at any time — even if you aren’t consciously trying to write or create something. Anyway, here it is, for your enjoyment.
