Saddle Mountain East — Wednesday, Jul. 19, 2023

Mosquitors be thicc and aplenty
Road smooth enough for a Bentley
Thank Jesus no snakes
For to bite on me cakes
And the sun shineth down on me gently

Toward the missile site summit I’m hikin’
Speedy like I’m chased by some pikemen
Though my heels may blister
Like my sunburned sister
The trail is a good one, I’m likin’

How tasty was last night’s spaghetti
Full of carbohydrates I’m ready
To hike like the wind
Summit’s just round the bend
In this Central Basin Serengeti

Though the Nike site is no longer active
It could be a bit radioactive
A nice southern breeze
Up from Hanford it heaves
The place plutonium was crafted

The concrete boys poured a foundation
And did their part to protect our nation
Back when computers
Were the size of a Hooters
And the moon was a new destination
