I scaled a steep muddy wall,
it must have been all of thirty feet tall.
At first it gave me a scare,
a real life vision of childhood nightmares.
I slowed way down,
took a look all around.
First to my left,
then to my right it was found.
A sneaky little mouses hole
right there on the ground.
I could…
…just run my way around this terrible fright.
No.
Not today, I had come too far to take the cowards way.
So I did as I was taught,
Hand over fist, fist over hand.
Taking no time to worry about meeting the earth
with a hard terrible slam.
Just believe in myself;
don’t get overwrought.
And just like a freight train that couldn’t be stopped,
I barreled my way straight up to the top.
