Securely Climbing Higher

 Self-conscious

Who am I?

I'm just getting by.

Wasn't long since I gave

door knocking a try

Cut my teeth on fruit trees

Daily truck rental for these

Long days on climb and ground

Trying to not get ground down

Bright lights at night to figure

To climb safely trees which are much bigger

Got a big shot but no trigger

Until I throw with more vigor

Blakes hitch and leather saddle

These trees I would battle

Loppering piece by piece

Man that was a beast

Michoacan, Rope Wrench and eventually Runner

Oh man how that made my work a lot funner

Eventually even a groundsman, my Rasta man Paul,

And a chipper JoBeau so I take nothing at all

I know insecurity should be lined in chalk

But I am quite skilled at finding something to gawk

How far do you walk

Rarer diseases do you talk

It is more and it is less

It'll put you to the test

But one day told I was 

Part of the best

Cone collecting crew in the world

My mouth edges curled

What they saw was unfurled

Into the crew I was burled

Then they asked me to teach

Even the ISA would beseech

I'm Holistically Long Beach

Then they told me I preach

I taught them to climb sans spurs

I taught them to converse

I coned the biggest trees in the universe

Now it's time to send insecurity out in a hearse
