Pope on a rope...

The Pope & I, we were great mates !
we often climbed at Mount Arapiles.
We chose The Dramp... I'm not sure why
It always troubles my mental-crap-police...

He led on-up, he climbed on-out...
& clipped that dodgy #4 Friend at the lip.
While under-clinging that 21 crux,
he took a nasty slip !!

Belaying from the bumper-guard
of his shiny Pope-mobill,
I watched in awe as his runners ripped
& he tumbled down that quartzite hill,
cursing the devil & the pill ...

His crucifix , it shonn so bright !
His white-robes covered in blood ...
" Damn you HEX !!! , must it end like this ?? "
as the amboz, copz & papparartzi arrive,
he quivered in the mud...
...whilst distant cattle chewed nonchalantly
on their rich-green-tasty crud ...

I glanced out left, across the plainz,
the falcons darting thru the eucalypts ...
I write this now,
I know itz ruff...
But it tickles my creative catalyst !

>Here's a gem for your collection:
.......................
Gutter Rat of the Pines, oh for sure
Little Mac will remind of his greatness
Sabu and he, post smut constantly
WhilST mods shake their heads in disdainment.

Chockstoners alike talk smut day and night
of their passion for altitude sport
We differ in methods, in opinions and ethics
And the morals of climbing we're taught.

Chippers like rhinkle chip holes in the rock
Replacing the natural beauty
With gym replications of holds-------what a crock!
Personally i reckon they're fruity.

Aiders alike haul all up the wall
If all else fails -- grab a draw!
Is it a sport? not like climbing its naught
This is an art of much more.

Chalk junkies use, chalk junkies abuse
Tannin's become 'Join the dots.'
If all else fails reach behind---chalk avails!
Don't be worried, I'm sure you've got lots!

But like most of us here, we all climb with no fear
I take off my hat to you all.
For we differ a lot, but on rock we're all hot
And would give anything for a good cold beer...
...........................

I agree with a cheer !
