The Mountain Goat

Today's Poem

The Mountain Goat

Out in the wild, without a care
With powerful horns and matted hair
The mountain goat lives through the cold
And has no fear of growing old

For life's just life to such as this
One hour a struggle, another bliss
No fussing over price or deals
The mountain goat does what he feels

And when the mating season's here
He carries on without a fear
Producing more of his own kind
When he a female goat can find

So keep things simple where you can
The world is crazy for a man
Too much of things we'll never need
Whilst mountain goats may quietly feed
