A Day to Paddle
8, 18, 18 - 3
Today we paddled Blackwater Creek.
It was John Fisher paddle week.
The Tuesday Groupers all met
None of us ever got wet.
The weatherman was calling for rain.
John told the clouds to take a train.
Some were there by seven.
Thinking it was Heaven.
Others arrived at eight.
For this important date.
The biscuits were sausages.
not a Ham in sight,
making some people want to fight.
On this beautiful day 23 boats got on their way.
Heading west with blue skies on this day.
Bill took a group picture of the colorful boats.
So people wouldn’t think that it was a joke.
With 25 Groupers on this day
It must have been the Bar-B-Q that brought them all this way.
Getting back to the Put-in by twelve,
just eating the Bar- B- Q was swell.
Some decided to go on home after lunch,
while others paddled as a bunch.
Back at the put-in by two,
Some of us changed our shoes.
Loading our boats onto our cars,
wishing we could have paddled to Mars.
