Climb Every Mountain

 





It all started long ago

big movie silver screen

Sound of Music

Julie Andrews


attractive lady sings.


High school and the townies

youngsters live downtown

always up for fighting

enjoy screwing around


poet with poor vision

wore coke bottle eyes

isn't playing football 

Sound of Music guy. 


Puts a target on your back

or front whatever

fine. 


Bought the SM album

Julie and the guys

down in the basement

lifting 


power making rhymes.  


Moving weights and listening

Do Re Mi hello

hills alive and so surprised

school wrestling


let's go.  


Collegiate wrestling competition

 take it to the mat

don't really need to see too well

just learn some moves


react.  


150 pound weight class

coaches were the refs

stands were full of girls

and guidance counselor


she who writes nice checks.


Muscles and a bit of chest hair

right on time you are

winning matches and believing

the real discovery card.


Tight shorts nearly naked

caveman breaking bad

DH Lawrence and the rest

looking down


blood bath.


All the townies watching

waiting for their food

JV quarterback smiling

"I'll beat the round eyed dude."


Well you know the ending

Do Re Mi won all

poetry the power of

learning 

 

thinking

growing strong.



Next:  Virginia Beach

Waiting To Reappear

 I had a state park pass that was stolen, appaently, off the mirror in my van.  It was a LIFE pass, good for geisers, who do not have enough...
