If a Moose Came to Visit

Funny, we saw a Moose today on the ride up the mountain.

If a moose came to visit, 

Would anyone believe me?

Would they think I just made it up?

Of that he was actually out there to ski?

If a moose came to visit, 

I'd let him in through the door

I'd let him in my room,

Especially if he didn't snore.

Did you know he likes bagels, 

Especially when soft and warm,

He'll even add a little red pepper jelly,

Because he thinks that's the norm.

The problem is how he'll fit in my home,

His antlers are too tall,

He'll take out the furniture, be careful,

the lamps, the shades, he'd take it all.

How could I feed this animal, this burley beast,

Should I feel him my lunch from school,

Perhaps a Lean Cuisine, 

Naw, he wouldn't think it was cool.

If a Moose came to visit, it'd be so fun.

we'd eat fun stuff, he go on the run.

But i'd have to let him go, to let him free.

Because a Moose in my home is not the best place to be.

Neffland

Did you know that April is National Poetry Month?  So every day you'll get my sick, twister, mind in rhyming style.  Aren't you excited?

If I could travel out of my mind,
I'd go to a place where snow I could find
I'd jump over a mogul in the air,
Skittle down a run without a care.
And at the very bottom is what I hope.
Exists a terrain park, not a slope
there is such a place if you can plan.
A funny little place called Neff land.
Full of snow, tricks, boxes and rails,
Watching each kid as they sail.
Me?  I watch and swish down the side,
Knowing that it's only my kids that will ride.
As I exit I wonder, was that really a place?
Or something simply in my grey space?

Weary....

What a great day on the mountain.

This is our morning run - ahead is an historic abandoned silver mine.

With the lift next to us that takes us to the summit.

Snow was great, lots of fresh trax for the morning.

It was hard work, but so much fun

Finally on the long runs back to the middle of town and our condo.

So excited we get to do it again.
