The Naked Ramblers
They wanted to walk from Lands End to John O' Groats. Naked.
Naked but for socks and boots; not quite as they were born.
Except too for rucksacks, traditionally worn upon
the back so hiding nothing; nothing worth hiding anyway.
Almost made it too. Yes, a few arrests, nights in jail,
for "breaching the peace". Challenging our attitudes.
This latter day Eve and Adam doing nothing untoward,
moving quietly along, made few folk really angry.
A few mothers, mortified, worried that their children's
innocence would be destroyed. Kind of makes you wonder though.
I thought it was quite a feat; not braving the stares and giggles.
No, what really got me was how they stood the cold!
