Silly limericks written in the Lake Mckenzie Hut

What does a hiker do when it's raining out an she's tired of reading
(and her hiking partner is napping)? It was the day after St.
Patrick's Day, so writing limericks was the answer! Apologies to the
nation of Ireland for the terrible quality of these...

Each day the weatherman chooses
A forecast to cause pain and confuse us.
He said it'd be hot
But look what we've got -
Soaked packs and soggy wet shoeses.

The Routeburn's a very nice track.
Perhaps some day I'll go back.
When it's not forecast to rain,
The snorers aren't a pain,
And sandflies aren't on the attack.

The Swiss are great engineers.
In bridge-building they have no peers.
They make chocolate that's great,
Their cheese is first-rate,
The're also great drinkers of beers.

(Jonas carried beers with him on his hikes)
