    The Seeker

    Oh!
    The view from the top was grand!

    Mountain, Climbing Man

    The back ridge shivers as they climb,
    And tickles old man mountain.
    It creeps up one stone at a time.
    Pebbles dribble here,
    A rock slide wheezes there.
    At last he sneezes at the pass,
    "Avalanche", to all who dare!

    Bright but cold,
    Alive but barren,
