What follows is a true story that happened not so long ago.
A warm day, an overcast day
A kayak and two canoes
A blue lake, five paddles take
And wear your water shoes.
Gliding in water, two sons and a daughter
The parents will lead the way
But in a blink, they’re in the drink
Their paddles floating away
Gliding in water, two sons and a daughter
Must now a rescue make
Parents afloat get towed by two boats
Slowly across the lake
The wind is hoppy, the water choppy
The canoe is upside-down
At last the dock, a solid rock
The parents did not drown.





Yep, it happened. The seasoned canoeists swamped their canoe and learned some humility.
I’m swamping this post in the morning.
Can this be sung as lyrics to the Theme from Gilligan’s Island?

I just tried it and with a little squeezing of words together in some parts, it can be done! But now I’m going to be stuck with that tune in my head all day. 😬. 😂
