Dwayner Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 pope’s garage (A poem and song by f.z.,dwayner and pope) It wasn't very large There was just enough room to cram the wall In the corner over by the Dodge It was a plywood jobber With resin knobbers And a sporty little pad That was a moldy old mattress that he stole from his dad And a bag for dippin in With a poster on the wall of Katie and Lynn We could climb in pope’s Garage His mama was screamin' His dad was mad We was climbin' the same old route In the afternoon 'n' sometimes we would Climb it all night long It was all we knew, 'n' easy too So we wouldn't get it wrong All we did was grab those holds like... Hey! Down in pope's Garage We didn't have no dope or LSD But a coupla quartsa beer And that mattress on da floor So you wouldn’t bust your rear And the same old route goin' up and down Became a big wall symphony We would climb it again 'n' again 'n' again 'Cause it felt like Everest to me ONE MORE TIME! We could climb in pope's garage His mama was screamin', "GET DOWN FROM THERE!!" We was climbin’ the same old route In the afternoon 'n' sometimes we would Climb it all night long It was all we knew, and easy too So we wouldn't get it wrong Even if we wore a pack We thought we was pretty good We talked about doin’ the Eiger 'N' we figured that we should 'Cause about this time we was gettin' the eye From the girls in the neighborhood They'd all come over 'n' look around So we told them we climbed Rainier We could climb on the roof and point it out 'N' showed them some of our gear Got plastic “Goretex suits” 'N' leather “alpine” boots 'N' some signs on the back of the car That said Edelrid ropes and Power Bar Well the years was rollin' by, yeah Sporty climbers and retro bolts Had caught the public eye, yeah Snotty boys with lipstick on Was really flyin' high, yeah 'N' then they got those rock gym things 'N' comps came along 'N' all of a sudden I thought the time Had come for that old song: We used to climb in pope’s garage And if I am not wrong You will soon be climbin' to...

johnny Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 Nice work Dwayner, I see the newest member calls him/herself the central scrutinizer, coincidence? Perhaps we should call in Tipper Gore????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
