Rally - A toast for 2019

 Here's to closed roads and the right to use them

-  To the return of Mull and the Jim Clark rallies

--  the discovery of new roads through new valleys

And raise a glass to the Forestry Commission

- we'd like smoother roads that do not rut

-- and trees that give when corners are cut

And a dram for the Marshals and the officials as well

- For without their help there would be no sport

-- and trust that speccies will lend their support

  

And a final swaally to those working on Brexit

- get back to basics and common sense for gawd's sake

-- a plea for the return of the Great British handshake

We Britons are supposed to be a bashful race

- So ban the kissing of cheeks like the French yellow jackets do

-- and stop the embarrassing lederhosed Bavarian thigh slapping habits too

And a final toast to the telecoms engineers who serve us outdoors

- may the mobile signal stay with us all,

-- here, there, and wherever,

--- Forever

Amen

So here's to 2019 - live fast, have fun, stay safe
