Fourth in the ‘Ed’ Series,
‘When We Ancient Eds Were-’
My Photo Albums Go Back a Long Ways,
And a Fond Memory or Two, They Always Stir
“Climb every mountain, search high and low,
Follow every byway, every path you know;
Climb every mountain, ford every stream,
Follow every rainbow, 'til you find your dream.”
Rodgers and Hammerstein,
Climb Every Mountain
Life had been extremely difficult
For we three ancient Brothers Ed
Since those days as Ed Cavemen
The entire world we would tread
From those holidays as Santa’s Elves
To those grand old days in old Ireland
To those nights on the South Pacific isles
It seemed our epic quest would never end
After we eventually got booted out of Tahiti
We joined a trade caravan, bound for Nepal
Sage Brother Edvard had dreamt another dream
“Maybe We Eds were meant to be Yetis, after all!”
And soon, we found ourselves wandering the Himalayas
My favorite memory is the day we met Sir Edmund Hillary
He, too, was among the noble ancient lineage of Brother Eds
And visiting him at his base camp truly always brought us glee
Sir Edmund delighted in calling us the crazy ‘Eddie Yetis’
And like us, he always had a huge craving for good spaghetti
He said all we ancient Eds had both Oriental and Italian blood
And loved yelling out, “Yo, Eddie Yetis, your Spaghetti is Ready!”
I really miss good old Sir Edmund Hillary, these days
And gazing at this old photo brought back many memories
I think I grew an inch or two eating all that spaghetti in Nepal
And from there, we ancient Eds, would now trek over to Turkey
Maybe next time,
I’ll tell you,
Where Noah’s Ark is.
And Note to Brother Edvard:
I didn’t steal this picture,
Mom gave it to me;
She said,
“I know it’s your favorite, Little Pee Wee.”
