With the horizon in your eyes And Kathmandu below You said: “I Can Do ANYTHING I put my mind to!” While the moneyed well-to-do Looked nice in their ties You arrived Black and blue And bloodied and bruised And cut right to the front of the line –no time for niceties here— And grabbed a glass Of champagne – the price of a mortgage— And chugged and ran Frost Bitten Sand Bitten Bug Bitten And a pack of lions, and bears, and snakes at your heels! You pulled a half gainer And left them behind Your motto: “Memories Are more important than things.” And Peter said: “This one has a story to tell...” “Let him in.” In Memoriam Of Those Who Dare.

An Elegy for an Adventurer
With the horizon in your eyes And Kathmandu below You said: “I Can Do ANYTHING I put my mind to!” While the moneyed well-to-do Looked nice in their ties You arrived Black and blue And bloodied and bruised And cut right to the front of the line –no time for niceties here— And grabbed a glass Of champagne – the price of a mortgage— And chugged and ran Frost Bitten Sand Bitten Bug Bitten And a pack of lions, and bears, and snakes at your heels! You pulled a half gainer And left them behind Your motto: “Memories Are more important than things.” And Peter said: “This one has a story to tell...” “Let him in.” In Memoriam Of Those Who Dare.
