The second of my collections of poems written for "Express It In Eight."

Statistics

Be careful what you wish for,
be careful what you say,
the thing you are describing
may seem another way -
Olympus Mons may tower,
the highest of all mounts,
but Mars don’t have no sea,
so what level do you count?

Prompt: The tallest known mountain in our solar system, Olympus Mons, is found on Mars. Its base is the size of Arizona, and the highest point is over 16 miles tall. (Earth’s Everest is 5.5 miles above sea level.)
