I hope my friend Nimblewill Nomad won't mind me sharing a topical poem of his 
entitled  HIKER'S SCOURGE:

When your friends are hikin' slow,
And movin' sorta funny.
'Tis monkeybutt they're sufferin',
I'll bet you any money.

Oh, what a dreadful malady,
A scourge upon our masses.
Raspberries are for eatin',
Not for 'round our cheeks and arses!

A little chafing we'll endure,
We'll tuff it with the best.
But monkeybutt will bust your nut,
A brutal acid test.

Should this remain a chronic pain,
There is a cure, you know;
Toss out your toidy paper,
And go straight to melted snow.

So, don't dismay . . . soon comes the day,
You'll feel both spry and fit.
'Tho monkeybutt will wrench your gut, 
Each time you think of it.

This was written in October 1998 during his first thruhike from Key West to 
Cape Gaspe.  He is as funny as he is inspirational.  I can't wait until his 
book comes out.

Happy trails,

Solar Bear
