We took one of our quirky circular walks
Around one or two and a bit Norfolk villages
Where ancient boundaries are marked by lanes, hedgerows, creeks and lokes

Sitting as solemn sentries on opposite gate posts
As we took one of our quirky circular conversations
Around one or two and a bit Norfolk villages
