Poem
I took my mountain for a walk without a leash Restraints don't come in gigantic sizes We strolled along a path near by the beach A sign stood out, No Pets Allowed Rock ranges must be controlled according to the code Ordinances must be obeyed by ridge and peak alike Mountain climbs and crimes will not be tolerated The law frowns on large lands masses violations Damage to valleys and crevasses is prohibited Pick up your moving soil deposits Don't fracture low lands even though they want it They are too young to understand your logic Carry cleaning equipment with you on the climb Don't be like glaciers crawling along one inch at a time No one likes liter, debris and slippery things Glacier bags were not invented yet for dirt and ice My mountain likes to swim in oceans nude A notice reads, “No Large Land Masses or Diving Naked” It has no suit but jumps in any way A tsunami soon to follow No surprise when many people drown Ranges move along at their own slow pace When no one looks they reach the top Peak above the world where clouds hang out Where I read to them about the clumsy cliffs Till they slip into a coma oblivious or into sleep It would be ridiculous to tumble from a mountain wouldn't it I tell them that would be like falling off themselves Boulders are forbidden to fall according to the signage They must have a permit to proceed off anything And be older than themselves for obvious reasons Accompanied by an adult as they can't read Walking mountains is for their own protection Safety first but what if they get lost If they should, just look for land, with dirt around the edges It would be that large thing over there
