5502 - Second-longest walk

Had been on course for longest recent walk
Headed along the Irwell as usual 
Feeling strong, hours of daylight left, I stalked
Along, though wearing jeans, oh what a fool 
But just as things looked great, phone battery fell 
To very low level, not only could 
I no longer listen to music - will
I even be able to know if I did
Beat my old long distance walking record?  
If the phone dies I’ll never know! Did talk
To a few en route, about dogs and - Tell
Me where I am!  Turned out I was headed 
Back homewards, not towards Bury. I’d cocked
It up. But next time I’ll get there, for real!
