an iceberg and a reporter

an Iceberg and a reporter


Near a village in Alaska, an enormous iceberg drifted filling the bay with fear and wonder
A journalist in the local paper saw something moving on the top of the berg, intrigued he wanted to see what it was he had seen 
A Sunday morning when the people sat in church, he alone, not telling his mum climbed the berg
we saw the photos of him climbing steep walls
of ice, walking on the latter part, and a photo of him looking down at the village
he saw many footprints and concluded that someone lived on the berg, but a storm broke out, he sought shelter in a crack of the ice
we saw the photo of him sleeping in his bag 
and when awake eat a frozen pie
When the storm had abated, he found more footprints, but there are no photos to prove this 
when he came back to the village and published 
an article on his findings 
Until a witty soul asked him if the cameraman was still on the iceberg
