It is one of the most exciting
Sports there is. You hook
Yourself into a harness and
Attach a rope which is fixed
Securely to an anchor and
Start at an unhurried speed
Over the side of the cliff,
Playing out the line slowly.
Some rappellers get their
Thrills by going over the
Sides of tall buildings.
They were our friends and
Playful companions and
Were always loyal. Dogs
And cats were the most
Prevalent pets that had
These traits. But one
Day, or a period of time,
Our furry companion
Gets sick or gets an
Irreversible physical
Condition that can’t
Be fixed. Signs point
To time to say goodbye.
