St. Helens

Two hikers carrying snowboards passed us on Ptarmigan Trail
I think they were traveling with home-brewed ale
I was working hard to stay right on their tail
I tried to keep up but to no avail

This does not compare to Everest
But I was grateful for that boulder to rest
My headache is making this more of a test
This was my idea so I will not protest

When we got to the summit I put on my fleece
Better head down before a caprice
I was already high no need for a bong
How come the trip down takes half as long?

Thanks Mom & Dad for taking care of the kids.
