Actually, I didn't ask for his assent but I'm dedicating these ten lines to my brother, Larry, who has scaled all 54 of Colorado's 14,000 foot peaks. He has also attained musical heights as a pianist and teacher.
A mountaineer fellow named Lee,
Encountered a field of debris.
But all of this sediment
Proved not an impediment.
He easily passed through the scree.
He made his way on toward the peak,
That pinnacle all climbers seek.
And when he had clumb it
Clear up to the summit
He right then and there took a leak.
I have thrown up while trudging through Colorado's Great Sand Dunes National Park and rock climbing in Eldorado Canyon.
