The Mountain Pass
by Big Frank Dickinson
Lewis and Clark made it over the pass.
They knew it existed but did not know where
It was; they needed help to find it
And this took them on a round-about journey
To a difficult passage
Over the mountains
To the Pacific
Ocean, a goal of some satisfaction,
Not because of where they ended up
But rather on having gotten there.
They quickly went back, and
The pass was easily found this time
As was the destination from which they had come.
However, it was never the same again
