I venture up the slick mountain side
To find only one life inside
A cave so tall majestic
Snow sprinkled on the floor crazy yet domestic.
Inside the cave I hear a “Roar “
It’s frightening to not run Away like a boar
Inside I find a creature tall and clean
His fur so shiny it makes my eyes gleam
I call Hello What are you
He Answers my Name is Lou
I’m a yeti from the far north
This cave is my home I declare henceforth
There’s a frozen ember that lights the cave
Burning in the center it raves
Why did you come to my cave so high
Humans are not welcomed he sighed
I wanted to meet you of course
I veneered from down the mounted guided by a Norse
Let’s talk I’ve decided
What do you do up here I resided
Not much my pastimes include cooking
That sounds epic there is no stove I said while looking
Well I don’t use heat I make fancy ice
That’s sounds nice
Can you teach me to make this delight
No problem it’s easy it will take till new light
Well let’s start what is the first ingredient
Cut down one of those stalagmites there being disobedient
Then bring it over here to the stone contraption
This looks like the machine we used in my chefs faction
It crushes the ice to a fine snow
I took these seeds and let them grow
Now I’ll use the fine berries as the syrup
The berries are a nice and syrupy no you just need to stirrup
I take my wood bowls that I carved
Feed the snow to the bowl like its a child that’s starved
Then to finish it off pile the syrup the mountain
The snow should look like a purple fountain
Wow Lou this is epic
Thank you your words sound so poetic
Well I’ll be on my way goodbye Lou
Good bye I hope I see you soon
As he descends into the cold misty shadows of the mountain.
