Mountain goat and mountain lion
Some jokes that had people cry’n
They were dumb and lame
Who else could we blame?
They fell on deaf ears most of them dy’n.
If I was a Rocky Mountain Goat
I would wear a furry overcoat.
I would walk rocks
Ignore all clocks
And jump off cliffs onto river boats.
Mountain Goat and Moose Tango - A Haiku
unfriendly mountain
shall and perfect, gray moose runs
at the perfect goat
4/7/19
Stark against the skyline
On a pinnacle he stands,
Tranquility and peace divine,
In the domain he commands.
Leaping and bounding ever free,
And humbly we try to follow,
When approached he shies timidly,
And runs to the rest in the hollow.
Always proving his superiority
While moving so gracefully too,
Humans only have authority
To appreciate the view.
