A hike in a forest is a boring thing,
unless the knowledge of creatures you bring.

Get off your ash and learn the trees.
To lichen the moss, get down on your knees.

“What am I looking at?”
Don’t get pissed!
Just logon to iNaturalist!

Now your hike is with friends you know.
With time your list of friends will grow.

As you walk your mind will name,
And learning more will be your game.

Your life will always be more merry,
because you can identify a partridge berry!

I know your heart will be more grand,
when you know it is a white pine tree stand!

When your lips tell me all this is so,
I will warmly say, “I newt this would happen!”
