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
