TYROL TRIP

Forty Christians from Southcourt Baptists
          skiers  good,novice & the inactive
on a flight from London-Heathrow
        trusting Italy was full of snow

Huddled in a coach past Trento
    disembark in   MSV's mountain shadow
    crammed & cushed    into the cable car
just in time   for hot scholate   in the the bar

Up early to claim skis & boots
     dressed in salapettes & chic ski suits
wait in line    for the mountain chairlift
at the top   jumping off   pretty swift

Down & up      the beginners' slope
in a whiteout     with a prayer& hope
Pasta for lunch     again & again
but good to miss out      of the English rain

Learning the knack of     evening  fondue
joining the folk-dance    without a clue
saying danke          to Karl the owner
back on the bus      to   airport Verona
