Crowborough Rides High

You need to look up to Crowborough.

Despite all it’s troubles and ills.

Yes you have to look up to Crowborough.

It’s on top of long and steep hills.

I know ‘cos I’m a new biker.

Decked out in genuine lycra.

Inspired by gold medals

I’m churning those pedals.

But it’s harder than being a hiker.

It’s always downhill to begin with.

When you’re fresh, energetic, full of vim.

But on the way home.

From wherever you roam.

There’s a big hill, and the prospect is grim.

So if I’m asked about Crowborough.

Coin a phrase that would sum up the town.

When all’s said and done

In more ways than one

It’s always more up than it’s down !
