No Ah Duh

they planned their
route they knew the
route but didn't know
how high was the peak
having taken a peek at the
world's highest made them pique

but curiously
what they found
was a go around
a run around and
turns out they'd
run a ground

finding themselves
something hard to
do you know what
i mean because
just before a dove
had brought back

an olive branch and
surely this can't be
Mount Olive because
i planned the route so
scratching his old hair
head he mumbled Ararat

Maureen, when YOU use words like that I feel blushingly humble. Thank you so much. (PS: I've written a bunch more this morning but I'm over the limit of 10 in 24... Hey there's a poem in that jajaja but I can't post it yet :( )
