the mountainside

 

i am on my way to the mountainside,

that side of the mountain with green, lush green grass,

and shadowly trees, with canopy, wide and widening,

 

i am on my way to the mountainside,

that side of the mountain with  sunlight,

bright sun, burning worries and warming cold hearts,

 

i am on my way to the mountainside,

that side of the mountain with breeze,

freshbreeze reinvigorating, tantalizing, and refreshing,

 

i am on my way to the mountainside,

that side of the mountain with birds,

chirping and singing, crowing and whistling,

 

i am on my way to the mountain side,

that side of the moutanin with women, sexy,

with full lips, full hips, and full tits,

 

i am on my way to the mountain side,

that side of the mountain with men,

handsome men, with strong hands, big biceps, and large chests
