My step-father was a man of few words and few deeds but when he spoke or acted it was a profound moment.
Where he would lie thinking of the bigger picture,
And when he had reached a pinnacle of thought
He would say 'Goodnight', climb slowly up the stairs,
Until he reached 'Everest'.

The ascent of man
Hughie's base camp was the lounge sofa,Where he would lie thinking of the bigger picture,
And when he had reached a pinnacle of thought
He would say 'Goodnight', climb slowly up the stairs,
Until he reached 'Everest'.
