Poor Sport
From the Rockies to the Tetons, I’ve avoided climbing rocks.
They crumble as I climb them and wind up in my socks.
I do not like their labyrinths that make you find a way
to snake up on their surface without a game of play.
Don’t expect me to climb mountains. Don’t even think to ask.
I’ll sit here in the shade and watch and sip upon my flask!
Prompts for today are labyrinth, snake, flask and Tetons.
That’s me back in 1973. I didn’t climb mountains then, either. You can tell by the shoes. This was taken in Lalibela, Ethiopia, a very mountainous place. Didn’t make any difference. I flew in on a tiny plane and rode a mule up one or two. That’s as far as I went.

Nope. My shoes had been stolen in Timor during a real hike up a mountain!!! Last one ever, I believe.

Well, and a whole lot happened before we did that we write about. No way to keep up.
