Moving Mountains

I will move mountains for you, oft said  with little brain and surplus testosterone. But why the plurality? Surely, a single mountain moved is Herculean enough to satisfy the desires of the most covetous princess. Then, what is a mountain? I’m sure a mound or hill won’t do. Also, move; would an inch to the left or right gratify? I think not, dear sir. So, where to find this mountain? Bhutan seems a reasonable choice they have so many, moving one would likely not be missed. Where too? The Midwest could do with a mountain or two attract more tourists, that sort of thing. Then the naming: something American, that reflects the Native lands, is gender neutral? Then, would you and your girlfriend climb to the top of Mount Sis Hank Running Bear and both look out over the beautiful land? No, she will be at home waiting for another man; the man who said he would make the Earth move for her!

- Denmark has few mountains ... and the country is flat ... an easy solution :))) - Right or left doesn't matter ... but, you're right a mound or hill won't do :))) - Thanks for the laugh, Terry ... I enjoy it from top to bottom :) - hugs
