Now this is the story all about how
I walked to the top and then back down
And I’d like to take a minute
And just sit right there
I’ll tell you how I became the prince of a hill called Sgurr Alasdair

In the west coast of Scotland born and raised
On Goat Fell is where I spent most of my days
Chillin out in Brodick, relaxin all cool
Swimming in Brodick Hotel swimming pool
When a couple of guys
Said “We ready to go?”
Started makin tracks towards our first munro
They started one little seaplane and we all got scared
They said “We’re headed for Skye and we’re travelling by air.”

Half way up the munro, the top wasn’t near
I should’ve stayed in the pub sippin my beer
Once at the top I thought “This view is rare,
The only thing I want more would be a young Isla St Clair.”

We got back down about seven or eight
And I yelled to the mountain “Yo hill smell ya later”
I looked at the hotel
I was finally there
To sit on my throne as the prince of Sgurr Alasdair.

Hmm. I've got a piece I've been working on...
Unfortunately, it quotes other satirists, so I've been hesitant to publish...

hi will - could it have been your good self I ran into on goatfell a couple of saturday's ago?? you were crouched behind a rock (like a mountain troll!) sheltering from the elements eating what looked like a slice of spanish omlette. Anyway, the reason I'm asking is that this person was whistling the 'Fresh Prince' theme tune - surely this can be no coincidence. If it was you, I want you to know I had the bloody song stuck in my head for two days. I forgive you though - luckily your ode to Sgurr Alasdair was genius!

Paul - I vote we appoint mr smith to the post of walkhighlands poet laureate, or you could create a new monthly prize 'best alternative report'. William, may I suggest the medium of urban dance for your next report.. I wait with baited breath..
