Adelaide

Adelaide often stayed

At the base of Glacier Peak

Every day she climbed the grade

For the best part of a week

Adelaide loved to climb

To the peak up in the clouds

Every day when she had time

She avoided the weekend crowd

Adelaide moved her camp

To the base of Tumble Mountain

Where the ground was damp

Around the water fountain

Tumble Mountain was hard to climb

Coming down was even harder

It cost a quarter and a dime

For her to use a pompier ladder
