Away on the mountain
no fun, easy drive-
in great Colorado-
July, 'ninety-five.
Way up was so scary
with long, winding miles
that circled the mountain
and cut short our smiles.
The road was so narrow
no side rails on edge;
past times cars have fallen-
went right off the ledge!
Feet tall- fourteen thousand;
got cold by degrees.
At crest met a blizzard
that spun frigid breeze.
To gift store, ran quickly
bought warm Pikes Peak gear!
Amazed that a snowdrift
chilled summer that year!
