Everest

Chamaco climbed Mt. Everest
thinking there was a cherry on top.

But the Chinese had stolen it
and left the Dali Lama without a cama.

No wonder yetis hate the Chinese leader
Ding Dong Dung.

In the Dead Zone
there is little need for oxygeneration.

From the summit you must plummet
says an old Tibetan dicho.

So Chamaco falls 26 thousand feet.
Sherpas marvel at Chamaco's death-defying iambic feat.
