Climbing a Mountain the Size of Your Fingertips

            Has definite disadvantages.
If you get stuck, who will help you?
The 911 operator will laugh in your ear!
The rope you hang down will be far too long!

So, you’re stuck.
Why did you make this decision in the first place?
Was it your thumb who talked you into it?
I told you that you couldn’t trust that troublemaker!

You climbed for about a second and realized
You forgot to pack a lunch
or your asthma inhaler 
and the altitude has changed ever so slightly...

Still, just maybe you'll decide you don’t ever want to come down.

I mean, the view looks so amazing from here!
