Climbing Mount Fuji

(In response to Issa’s famous haiku by the same title:

O snail
Climb Mount Fuji
But slowly, slowly!)

Climbing Mount Fuji

O Master
How slowly
Slowly must I go?…

    1. Bang! Spot on!

      I’ve met this snail at the top, finally, now that you mention it, and he was looking very depressed.

      Talking ’bout financing the whole new sewerage/electrical/road infrastructure from its last stopping place, BEFORE that permit would even be considered (no camping on “his own” land, either, uh-uh)… 🙄😆😱🤣
