When climbing the O2
it is essential to take H2O, too,
to drink;
or you might sink
into a dehydration tank
and, then, who would you have to thank?
Whilst climbing, remember,
that when you get to the top …
stop.
For continuing might be effort in vain.
And what have you to gain,
when the summit is achieved,
and you have breathed
the higher air …
there.
.
One day, soon, you will be allowed back down
to the ground,
where the rest of the tired
can be found.
