Boitsfort Greets the Runners!

It’s Sunday, time to take a pause;

Wow, it’s balmy out of doors!

Once more the 20 Ks takes place

This Marathon is one tough race.

 

 I thought it would be fun to cheer

In Boitsfort centre - they pass here!

Place Wiener when the weather’s fine

Is a pleasant place to pass the time…

 

Main roads cordoned off with tape

Where passers-by soon congregate;

Enthusiastic drummers drum

Keeping pace with those who run.

 

Most enter to support a cause

Cheered on by audience applause;

Some buoyed with elegance and style

While others find the course a trial!

 

Shorts and green tutus on display;

Spa bottles seen in droves today …

With COVID pass, masks not required

So, we observe their faces – tired…
