It was cold and dark and rainy, I was cosy by the fire
but a promise is a promise and mine was to Aspire
I’ve pledged to swim the channel, length by length by length
I’ve got 12 weeks to do it, I’m building up my strength
My hair has gone all frizzy, my skin’s wrinkly as well
…eau de chlorine has become my signature smell
I’m well on track to do it, over two thirds of the way
just 310 more lengths to go and it’ll be a happy day
I’ll step out of the swimming pool, do a celebratory dance
even though my knees are complaining, because I’ll have reached France
So I’ll go out and do the swimming, you stay home nad watch TV
but please visit Just Giving and go and sponsor me

Okay – this has earned £5 :-).
But will give it to you next month as I refuse to use justgiving. Awkward sod that I am.
