The Whitney Of Moheekans

"Hi, Mt. Shasta!" I shout. 
"What do you want, you miwak!?!" Fuji irratably shouts back. 
I grab the handle of a shiny, golden Nile cup
And pass it across the bank to Fuji. 
"What is this, a congo river?" He surprisingly says
"No, silly! Hold it in your hand
And a piece of Columbia coffee and Everest tea will arise
Upon your Manchi soul" I explain
Fuji gazed upon the aztec horizon of Mt Tam
In complete awe
"Thank you Zio," cries Fuji
"Well you don't have to thank me. 
You can thank Amazon for carrying you into their hearts."
Fuji wept in indus bliss
And quickly disappeared to meditate on Shenendoah and Mississippi sanctuaries
