The Lost Cave

I know of a cave where you have

to exhale to slide through the

entrance on your belly; but you

may get stuck. If you take a long

deep breath you might crack a

rib or two.

When Albert could’t get out

we panicked and called nine one

one. The fire truck couldn’t climb

the hill so the rescuers had to hike.

They dropped a rope through the

entrance with a hangman’s loop

on it. He stuck his arm through

the loop and they pulled him out.

If In Rhyme

Once, while wandering around

there was a large cave we found.

The entrance was very small.

To enter we had to crawl.

We were afraid of being stuck.

and fat Albert was out of luck.

He got in but couldn’t get out

and we heard his frightened shout.

After that one of the women

sought help in nearby Mt. Lemon.

We finally got Albert free.

The cave is still a mystery.

That was fifty years ago.

Where is it now? I don’t know.
