Thursday, July 25, 2024 Tippy Canoe and Swimming Too

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.

The parents
The son
The son-in-law and daughter
The rescuers
The rescuees

Yep, it happened. The seasoned canoeists swamped their canoe and learned some humility.

I’m swamping this post in the morning.
