A Simple Solution

Out walking in the woods one day I found a creek that begged me to cross Just a bit too wide to attempt a jump And the only rock was covered with moss I walked up and down the bank a bit Couldn't find a log to bear my weight After a bit of thought, took off my shoes And sure enough, my feet worked great.... For the Dilemma contest...
