PS - don't bother flaming me on this "climbing" (aka fighting) thread as I am not returning to it.

Richard/Mark (if you're there): Did you guys take a file on the climb? There doesn't seem to be one listed on the pages that Steve posted from your book.
Edit: I can't help adding that on the internet, it's usually a mistake to click on anything with the word "enhance" in it.

LOIS - At first I thought you could resist. STFU Matty - just because HowWeirdLois is a frumpy, upper middle-aged NON CLIMBER who expounds ad nauseam on things It
knows nothing about––when It should be tending to It's tulips––doesn't mean you should pick on It. Where's the humanity?

i'm a woodsman by trade
and, uh.
recently i was standing there
admiring a mountainscape
and suddenly i was beckoned by
kin not my own
and in complete surrender
i let them gnomes
hang a wood cross on me.
my arms out wide;
legs slightly askew
these creatures told me
that this cross was
the savior of the tree kingdom
and that they worshiped it
and needed a medium upon which
to sacrifice their holy tree.
i conceded, for i'm on the other
end of the religious spectrum.
mostly i'm just a mountain zealot
and quite open to new experiences
in them woods.
so they hung the cross on me
i tried to talk them through
a bowline-on-a-bight but
they got all tangled up in their
vines and quite frusterated
they resorted to hammering holes
through my hands and feet;
not quite a clean ceremony
but they promised me
fern berry wine in a peace gesture.
so like a thousand moments went by
and the tree hung on me;
my gnome friends came daily
to pray to the tree and feed me -
edibles and fermented ferns.
where once i was wanted in the human bible
for sorcery or some other unsubstantiated accusation,
now i'm a backdrop in the gnome bible,
with the merry breezes whistlin through
my hands and feet.

Nothing to say about WoS, but congratulations to Norwegian on another interesting poem. I'm becoming a real fan.

I second what mcreel said. Norwegian, that was great. It's worth taking the extra time to read your stuff.
