big hike

The Warm Up
















if i had known
how far it was
i never would have gone

i didn't have a clue
the hike
would be so long
Hot Dog

The Carry
and boy 
that sunshine sure got hot
as we walked on 
and on


i got so tired 
that i was glad 
when momma came along

she carried me
for a bit
the hike to not prolong


after a break
i walked some more
i once again felt strong
The Second Carry

when michael
scooped me in his arms
singing his silly song


i didn't mind 
his singing
as he carried me along


i walked some more
and finally
when i could not 
go on



we were back
and i was glad
not to be dog gone
The Cool Down
