Standing on the mountaintop
above the adoring masses
they only needed a flag
to seal this treasured moment
Standing on the mountaintop
up high on the snow bank
so much as Hillary and Norgay must have been
claiming this piece of ground
standing atop Everest

& Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay on the summit of Mt Everest,
