Denver's peaks, so high and grand,
I tried to climb, hat in hand.

From mountain's might to city's cheer,
Denver's laughter's always near.

I joined the fun, no strife.
But then I tripped on narrow lane,
The locals laughed, "What a pain!"
From downtown's charm to mountain's light,
Denver's joy is pure delight.
