Mushera Christmas Morning Climb

1 thought on “Mushera Christmas Morning Climb”

1. No matter what the weather every Christmas Day
   Hardy people from Aubane and surrounds to the cross on Mushera’s summit climb their way
   At a time of year in Mushera that can be windy, wet and cold
   For to take on such a mission one would have to be quite bold

   For a charitable cause on Christmas Day they do climb Mushera in frost, rain, wind or snow
   They are weather hardened people by the Boggeraghs this much of them i do know
   A group of males and females the young and ageing and those in their lives prime
   Some of them would have climbed Mushera over the years many a time

   Up through the knee high bracken that in Winter is seldom dry
   A daunting task for one of my age that i may not be brave enough to try
   They climb up on the high ground money for charity for to raise
   For this the Mushera Christmas Day climbers are worthy of some praise

   Where the cold winds of the Boggeraghs blow with a wintery chill
   The mildest Winter day a cold one on Mushera’s windswept hill
   Mountain climbing in the depths of Winter seems a daunting task to face
   But they make them tough by Mushera they are a hardy race

   To their worthy charitable causes they do remain ever true
   And to undertake such a task on Christmas Day some credit they are due
   I cannot say i envy them i feel a lucky man
   To lay here in the sunshine improving my suntan.
