“Dents” By Charlotte Parker

A hydro flask is like a person.
It can start off new, clean,
The perfect shape.
But, if you drop it,
BANG!
It will dent.
And sometimes, those dents,
Are irreversible.
A person can dent too.
You can try to fill a dent,
But it will never be the same.
So think, before you drop your hydro flask.
Because if it dents,
It’s permanent.
 
There once was a hiker from Marblehead
Who got lost somewhere near Mount Galehead
Without a HikeSafe card
Fish and Game came down hard
And now VFTT has a thread.

Went hiking with my dog
Hurt my back while clearing a log
Lost a boot when it was stuck in a bog
Reached treeline and was blinded in the fog
Cleared my eyes to see hikers mooning the Cog
 
Awesome! Thanks for the laughs guys.
Here is my not-as-amusing add:

Hiking is my addiction
Mountains are the high
Mother Nature is my dealer
Terra Firma and the sky
 
Everytime I climb a peak
I know that I will take a leak
I quickly hide behind a tree
And hope that no one can see
 
A hiker set out to climb Lincoln
It's possible he had been drinkin'
He went up like a goat
But got lost on the Throat
As the internet pondered his thinkin'

A boy climbed a mountain and sat on the top
The view made him cry and almost stopped his heart
He went back home and tried to move on
But alas, went back to climbing mountains
and now he can't stop.
 
Here I sit, broken hearted
Dug my hole, and only farted

(updated from the old one first seen on a campground stall decades ago...)
 
The famous poem from the Emmons Glacier on Rainier:

Into a cloud sea far below,
I lonely watched the red sun go.
Then turning, miracle of glad surprise,
enchanted saw the full moon rise.
— C. Y. Schurman
