Tip Top Tower

Tip Top Tower

A Poem by Andy Ruffett
"

A climb up the Eiffel Tower

"

Tip, top,

Let’s go to the top of the tower

Tip top,

Let’s go to the top of the tower

Where women and men all strive for the power

Tip, top,

Let’s go to the top of the tower

 

Tip, top,

Let’s go to the top of the tower

Tip, top,

Let’s go to the top of the tower

It’s open all day, you climb by the hour

Tip, top,

Let’s go to the top of the tower

 

Step, step,

We’re heading up to the top of the tower

Step, step,

We’re heading up to the top of the tower

We climb up the steps to show we’re not cowards

Step, step,

We’re heading up to the top of the tower

Step, shake,

We’re pretty high up on the tower

Step, shake,

Wow, this is a pretty tall tower

But we’ll keep walking up because heights are no matter

Step, shake,

Let’s keep heading up that tower

 

Step, trip,

I missed a step of the tower

Step, trip,

It’s probably because all this climbing’s made me tired

But no matter, I’m fine, let’s move up that tower

Step, trip,

It’s okay, I’m a little bit tired

 

Step, stop,

We’re almost at the top of the tower

Step, stop,

Just let me rest, we’ve been walking for hours

We’re almost there

 I can feel it, can’t you?

Step, stop, just let me rest for a while

 

 

Step, gasp,

Wow, we’re at the top of the tower

Step, gasp

If my legs weren’t shaking, I’d stand here for hours

We made it all the way up and I’m in desperate need of a shower

Step, gasp,

Man, what a beautiful tower

 

Step, step, shake,

What was that, the wind or the tower?

Step, step, shake,

Well it can’t fall down, it’s been standing for years

But maybe I’m thinking we should head down the tower

Step, step, shake,

Wow, but seriously, it can’t be the tower

 

Run, step, step,

We’re almost at the bottom

Run, step, step,

I slipped down on my bottom

And now my back is shot and this is a problem

Run step, step,

I need to reach the bottom

 

Hobble, step, hobble,

I can see the ground

Hobble, step, hobble,

This pain is unbearable

But at least now we can say that we tackled

That damn stupid tall difficult tower of Eiffel
